We present a web-based system for remotely reconstructing
3D models from 2D images. The system relies on a full
static stereo vision procedure, which includes feature extraction;
matching; fundamental matrix and roto-translation parameters
estimation; image rectification; 3D-point triangulation and polyhedrization,
to produce a 3D geometrical model approximating
the input scene. The system architecture, grounded on a conventional
client-server scheme, has been designed according to
the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm in order to obtain
a modular configuration, keeping separate the presentation from
the processing and control phases. The resulting, flexible scheme
allows the user to fully control the flow of information by
means of an interactive interface. In this way, the partial results
arising from the numerical steps can be refined by the user,
who can modify input parameters, add/eliminate/change output
results, thereby actively contributing to an accurate and efficient
synthesis of the final model. The system has been realized on an
open-source platform; results are presented and discussed.
