Multi-peak Range Imaging for Accurate 3d Reconstruction of Specular Objects

In this paper, we present new range acquisition and 3D reconstruction methods that are capable of modeling specular objects. Multipeak range imaging, a new concept in range data collection that accounts for the effects of interreflections, is used to acquire range data of an object. False measurements caused by interreflections are then iteratively eliminated by using constraints based on local smoothness and global consistency. Experimental results show that our method can generate accurate and reliable 3D models of objects of complex shapes with specular surfaces.
