Abstract
Advances in computer speed, memory capacity, and hardware graphics accelera tion have made the interactive manipulation and visualization of complex, d etailed (and therefore large) three-dimensional models feasible. These mode ls are either painstakingly designed through an elaborate CAD process or re verse engineered from sculpted prototypes using modern scanning technologie s and integration methods. The availability of detailed data describing the shape of an object offers the computer vision practitioner new ways to rec ognize and localize free-form objects. This survey reviews recent literatur e on both the 3D model building process and techniques used to match and id entify free-form objects from imagery. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
