Efficient representation of object shape for silhouette intersection

Abstract
A new shape representation-the radial intersection set (RIS)-is presented. The RIS is an object-centred model in which 2-D and 3-D boundaries are represented via their intersection with radial lines from some specific origin. The RIS representation allows efficient 3-D reconstruction using silhouette intersection from an arbitrary number of 2-D perspective views. The relationship between the visual hull (Laurentini, 1994) of the 3-D object and the silhouettes it may generate is defined as a set intersection operator. This operator allows the direct generation of 3-D RIS models from silhouettes. The RIS method is shown to compare favourably, in terms of both speed and storage, with existing octree techniques. Examples of images rendered from RIS models are presented. These show high visual fidelity.
