An intuitive and easy-to-use 3D modeling system has become more crucial with the rapid growth of computer graphics in our daily lives. Image-based modeling (IBM) has been a popular alternative to pure 3D modelers (e.g. 3D Studio Max, Maya) since its introduction in the late 1990s. However, IBM techniques are inherently very slow and rarely user friendly. Most IBM techniques require either very extensive manual input and/or multiple images. In this paper, we present an IBM technique that gives high level of detail with 1-2 minutes of manipulation from a novice user using only single, un-calibrated image. Our system modifies a generic part-based model of the object under investigation. User inputs are entered via a simple interface and converted into modifications to the whole 3D model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our modeler by modeling several vehicles, such as SUVs, sedan/hatchback/coupe cars, minivans, trucks and more.
