Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) face based on multiple cameras. The apparatus includes a multi-image analysis unit, a texture image separation unit, a reconstruction image automatic synchronization unit, a 3D appearance reconstruction unit, and a texture processing unit. The multi-image analysis unit determines the resolution information of images received from a plurality of cameras, and determines whether the images have been synchronized with each other. The texture image separation unit separates a texture processing image by comparing the resolutions of the received images. The reconstruction image automatic synchronization unit synchronizes images that are determined to be asynchronous images by the multi-image analysis unit. The 3D appearance reconstruction unit computes the 3D coordinate values of the synchronized images, and reconstructs a 3D appearance image. The texture processing unit reconstructs a 3D image by mapping the texture processing image to the 3D appearance image.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for automatically creating a 3D personalized figure suitable for 3D printing by detecting a face area and features for respective regions from face data acquired by heterogeneous sensors and by optimizing global/local transformation. The 3D personalized figure creation apparatus acquires face data of a user corresponding to a reconstruction target; extracts feature points for respective regions from the face data, and reconstructs unique 3D models of the user's face, based on the extracted feature points; creates 3D figure models based on the unique 3D models and previously stored facial expression models and body/adornment models; and verifies whether each 3D figure model has a structure and a shape corresponding to actual 3D printing, corrects and edits the 3D figure model based on results of verification, and outputs a 3D figure model corresponding to 3D printing.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for verifying and correcting degree of 3D-printed joints movement. A method for correcting a print position of a three-dimensional (3D) object is performed by a 3D object print position correction apparatus, and includes setting at least one adjacent mesh of a 3D object in which multiple shells are connected to each other through a joint structure, calculating movement degree information for the joint structure of the 3D object using the set adjacent mesh, and correcting a print position of the 3D object such that the print position matches the calculated movement degree information.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for generating three-dimensional output data, in which the appearance or face of a user is easily restored in a three-dimensional manner by using one or a plurality of cameras including a depth sensor, a three-dimensional avatar for an individual, which is produced through three-dimensional model transition, and data capable of being three-dimensionally output, which is generated based on the three-dimensional avatar for an individual. The apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a three-dimensional model based on depth information and a color image from at least one point of view, a selection unit that selects at least one of three-dimensional template models, and a generation unit that modifies at least one of a plurality of three-dimensional template models selected by the selection unit and generates three-dimensional output data based on the three-dimensional model acquired by the acquisition unit.
Abstract:
A method for 3D printing of an object that is larger than the printing area of a 3D printer and a device using the method. The 3D printing method includes receiving 3D mesh data of the object, determining whether the 3D mesh data is included in the printing area of the 3D printer, generating partitioned mesh objects by partitioning the 3D mesh data if the 3D mesh data is not included in the printing area of the 3D printer, forming a connector for connecting the partitioned mesh objects, arranging the partitioned mesh Objects in the printing area, and printing the arranged partitioned mesh objects in 3D.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for assembling 3D printing outputs. The apparatus for assembling 3D printing outputs includes a mesh structuring unit for performing mesh structuring on a segmented surface generated by partitioning a virtual 3D modeled object, a printing unit for selecting the kind and shape of a coupler to be inserted into the segmented surface of the object, modeling a hole in the segmented surface using variables corresponding to the size of the coupler, and printing the partitioned objects, and an assembly unit for inserting the coupler into the hole and assembling the partitioned objects using the coupler.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide optimized 3D printings to a user by inserting metadata (i.e., a current model should be printed with a strong heat resistance material) to a 3D object for 3D printing and combining preference of a default printing material which a user desires (i.e., since glass is fragile, it does not like to print with glass) based thereon and printer performance of the user's (i.e., the printer which can print glass and plastic).
