3D reconstruction of 2D images is one of the many useful applications of Image Processing. One may find it useful and even reminiscing to reconstruct a photograph taken in the past and try to navigate through a scene. This project aims to provide an implementation of 3D scenes reconstruction from a photograph, and to also provide a way of navigating through the reconstructed scene by means of a Microsoft Kinect. This can be achieved by implementing and improving on current technique in the Tour into the Picture. The project will be coded in the .Net framework so as to easily support the use of Microsoft Kinect in the application. The results provide a basic level of realism in the reconstructed scene. This project can serve as a baseline for future improvement to include such things as the multiple vanishing point 3D scene reconstruction as well as the reconstruction of a wider view scene using panoramic images.
