Diamond Inclusion Reconstruction

Abstract

In this paper, we make an improvement on the conventional visual hull reconstruction method that runs on a single consumer graphics card. The target application is a high-precision diamond inclusion reconstruction system. One major contribution of this paper is an evaluation system of voxels for high-precision reconstruction. In contrast to existing approaches, it allows us to reconstruct the thin structure of the diamond inclusion. Based on this, we obtain a significant improvement in reconstruction precision, especially for thin inclusion.
