Visual hull

Visual hull

The Visual hull is a geometric entity created by shape-from-silhouette 3D reconstruction technique introduced by Laurentini.This technique assumes the foreground object in an image can be separated fromthe background. Under this assumption, the original image can be thresholdedinto a foreground/background binary image, which we call a silhouette image.The foreground mask, known as a silhouette, is the 2D projection of the corresponding3D foreground object. Along with the camera viewing parameters, thesilhouette defines a back-projected generalized cone that contains the actual object.This cone is called a "silhouette cone". The upper right thumbnail shows two such cones produced from two silhouette images taken from different viewpoints. The intersection of the two conesis called a visual hullcite web
