Here, we aim at increasing the level of automation in D reconstruction of scenes from a small number of images. We build highly detailed model components, for example; windows, columns, groin-vaulted ceilings elements, and arches with large number of automatically created points. The components are created to be reusable in other parts of the model, or any other model, which are similar in shape, but may vary in dimensions. Our approach works directly on the images and performs accurate transformations and scaling automatically without trials and errors. We developed a copy and paste procedure that automatically re-triangulates the base model to account for the pasted element. By creating reusable higher-level building blocks that can be integrated to form a highly detailed model, a growing l...

It is therefore not surprising that many 3D models stand in impossibly balanced configurations. As long as the models remain in a computer this is of no consequence: the laws of physics do not apply. However, fabrication through 3D printing breaks the illusion: printed models topple instead of standing as initially intended. We propose to assist users in producing novel, properly balanced designs by interactively deforming an existing model. We formulate balance optimization as an energy minimization, improving stability by modifying the volume of the object, while preserving its surface details. This takes place during interactive editing: the user cooperates with our optimizer towards the end result. We demonstrate our method on a variety of models. With our technique, users can produce fabricated objects that stand in one or more surprising poses without requiring glue or heavy pedestals.
