| Abstract: | An active research topic in computer vision and graphics is developing algorithms that can reconstruct the 3D surface of curved objects from line drawings. There are a number of algorithms have been dedicated to solve this problem, but they can't solve this problem when the geometric structure of a curved object becomes complex. This paper proposes a novel approach to reconstructing a complex curved 3D object from single 2D line drawings. Our approach has three steps:(1) decomposing a complex line drawing into several simpler line drawings and transforming them into polyhedron;(2) reconstructing the 3D wireframe of curved object from these simpler line drawings and generating the curved faces;(3) combining the 3D objects into the complete objects. A number of examples are given to demonstrate the ability of our approach to successfully perform reconstruction of curved objects which are more complex than previous methods. |
