Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are directed to improved systems and methods for three dimensional (3D) image reconstruction. The systems and methods are directed to extracting, digitally reconstructing and optionally tracking 3D objects from multiple two dimensional (2D) video camera sources. The systems and methods are directed to reconstructing a 3D scene via 2D cameras and then re-projecting this data back onto 2D surfaces. This system and method can greatly simplify the image processing required to analyze the 3D model by moving the analysis techniques back into the 2D domain.
