Abstract

Image-based 3D model reconstruction method can use the same multi-view image sequence of the object for the generation of both the geometry model and texture map. Texture is very critical for virtual exhibition of 3D model and should be of high quality comparable to the geometry data. One problem is that the object surface may exhibit specular reflection of illuminated light. The texture extracted directly from the images can be unnatural. We propose a method for the removal of specular reflection component in each image. Each camera view is calibrated and a 3D mesh model of the object is generated. For each triangle patch, the projected colors on all visible views are found. The specular chromaticity is replaced by the corresponding diffuse chromaticity. We test the method on image sequences of synthetic and real objects. The diffuse image sequence can be used to generate the texture map.
