The automatic reconstruction of three-dimensional models from acquired data, whether images or 3D point clouds, has been one of the central themes of computer graphics and computer vision for several decades.
In this field, CRS4 has introduced various cutting-edge visual computing technologies, using both geometric reasoning and deep learning approaches based on artificial neural networks. In 2016, in particular, one of the first methods capable of effectively reconstructing multi-room interiors from point clouds was proposed. Later, we focused on the even more challenging task of reconstructing scenes from panoramic images, an area in which in recent years we have developed several cutting-edge solutions.
