Most three-dimensional acquisition systems generate several
partial reconstructions that have to be registered and
integrated for building a complete 3D model. In this paper,
we propose a volumetric shape integration method, consisting
of weighted signed distance functions represented as
variational implicit functions (VIF) or surfaces (VIS). Texture
integration is solved similarly by using three weighted
color functions also based on VIFs. Using these continuous
(not grid-based) representations solves current limitations
of volumetric methods: no memory inefficient and resolution
limiting grid representation is required. The built-in
smoothing properties of the VIS representations also improve
the robustness of the final integration against noise
in the input data. Experimental results are performed on
real-live, noiseless and noisy synthetic data of human faces
in order to show the robustness and accuracy of the integration
algorithm.
