Abstract
This paper proposes a novel method that reconstructs a surfel-based object by using visual hull from multiple images. The surfel is a point primitive that effectively approximates point-set surface. We create the surfel representation of an object from images by combining the LDC(Layered Depth Cube) surfel sampling with the concept of visual hull that represents the approximated shape from input images. Because the surfel representation requires relatively smaller memory resources than the polygonal one and its LDC resolution is freely changed, we can control the reconstruction quality of the target object and acquire the maximal quality on the given memory resource.
