Create 3d models from your mobile with the camera and accelerometers

The 3d modelers can get help from a new technology that applies the camera and accelerometers in an average cellphone to evaluate real objects in 3D space.

Researchers associated with Carnegie Mellon University have developed this newest 3d modeling technology. The 3d modelers will get the ability to generate 3D models of the world just by flapping their phones just about an object or scene.

The accelerometers also known as inertial measurement units, approximately notify the phone’s software the location of the phone in space. By linking IMUs with the camera, one can get stunning results.

The tool provides superior computer vision and the users will be able to generate a 3D model of almost anything through their smartphone alone. It is expected that this new 3d modeling technology can be applied in self-driving cars, bypassing expensive and “power-hungry” radar. The team applied the technology to produce something known as Smart Fit that discovers the ideal glasses frames for any face.

A face tracker program can determine the distance amid a person’s pupils inside half a millimeter.

The 3-D model can be applied to rectify for the errors originated by the IMU, even as we utilizing the IMU to estimate the dimensions of the model.
