3D backprojection (potential project)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility and methodology of constructing a 3D optical scene using backprojection techniques. Participants explore the process of capturing images from multiple angles, creating a point cloud, and utilizing filtered backprojection to generate a 3D model, with a focus on potential applications and limitations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes capturing a scene from different views using an HD camera and stitching the images into a 3D point cloud.
  • Another participant questions what the light beams would be projected onto in the proposed method.
  • A later reply suggests projecting light onto a cloud or crystal that would shine when reflecting the light.
  • There is a clarification regarding the nature of filtered backprojection, emphasizing that it relies on light from the object being imaged, which would be positioned between the cloud/crystal and the observer.
  • One participant expresses interest in a linked article about 3D projections but notes its limitations in size and capability compared to the proposed technique.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the practicality and scalability of the proposed method compared to existing technologies, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.

Contextual Notes

There are assumptions regarding the effectiveness of the proposed method and the specific conditions under which it would operate, which remain unaddressed. The discussion also references external sources for further context but does not resolve the technical details of the backprojection process.

I just thought about whether it is possible, or already exists, a method to construct a 3D optical scene using the method of backprojection.
First, I will capture the scene (say a castle) from different views using HD camera. Then using one of the app to stitch the 2D images into a cloud of points in the 3D space. Next, I will further slice the 3D of the castle into thin cross section 2D slices which have the surface information of the object. Lastly, using the technique of filtered backprojection used in CT to project the light from different small light beams around the scene to create the 3D model.

And what will the light beams be projected ON to?
 
Sorry for the late in the reply. The light may be projected on a cloud or a crystal whose particles would shin when reflecting the light.
 
I like the 3D article in the last link. But it seems that it has a very limited capability and it is very small in size too (lens is used to watch it).
My technique can be made on any scale.
