  • Abstract
    We present utilization of the visual hull geometrical method for reconstruction of 3D shapes of snowflakes and ice particles based on high-resolution photographs of an object from multiple angles and the corresponding 2D silhouettes, for the purpose of further scattering analysis. The images are obtained by a multi-angle snowflake camera (MASC). Preliminary results appear to be much more accurate than any other available snowflake shape reconstruction examples, and are indicative of a great potential of the proposed approach.
