Abstract

This contribution discusses the 3D reconstruction of deformable freeform surfaces with high spatial and temporal resolution. These are conflicting requirements, since high-resolution surface scanners typically cannot achieve high temporal resolution, while high-speed range cameras like the Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras capture depth at 25 fps but have a limited spatial resolution. We propose to combine a high-resolution surface scan with a ToF-camera and a color camera to achieve both requirements. The 3D surface deformation is modeled by a NURBS surface that approximates the object surface and estimates the 3D object motion and local 3D deformation from the ToF and color camera data. A set of few NURBS control points can faithfully model the motion and deformation and will be estimated from the ToF and color data with high accuracy. The contribution will focus on the estimation of the 3D deformation NURBS from the ToF and color data.
