Abstract

Modeling complex objects/environments represents an important task of computer graphics and poses substantial difficulties to traditional synthetic modeling approaches. Today's 3D imaging technologies provide an attractive alternative. In this chapter we give an introduction to 3D imaging. We outline the various steps of the whole modeling process and describe the techniques available. Also, applications are discussed to highlight the usefulness of these technologies.
