Hi all,
Does anybody know if there is any geometry extraction software for AmigaOS?
I don't know what the correct terminology is (photogrammetry or something like that), but it works by analysing several photographs of a scene taken from different angles and calculating a 3D mesh that corresponds to the original scene by locating and correlating edges in the original set of images.
A bit of a long shot but I thought it could be an interesting way of building 3D game engine maps of real places (with a bit of polygon reduction, obviousy!)
Hey that sounds just like an Idea I had a few years back!!!
I even start work on some simple ideas. I took two photos taken about 15cm apart and then wrote a small program that would find common points and assign them a value (x,y,z). The Idea beingt hat you could work out how far away any point way simply by the separation... if enough point were analysed you would end up with a 3D surface...
It didn;t work, but I'm sure the theory was sound :-D
