Description
Summary:Smartphones are amazing devices that almost everyone of us now carries in our pockets. They allow us to always be connected through social networks and communication platforms. A smartphone is just like a computer, a really capable one, so much that some may claim that a smartphone will soon be the only computer we need. Large percentage of these smartphones also come with built-in cameras. This provide a easier way to edit and share photographs taken using the smartphone camera. This report describes a project that demonstrates the development of an Android application for 3D reconstruction. Images of an object can be captured within the application using the android’s built-in camera. These images will then be sent to a laptop computer server using socket programming in java. The laptop computer server performs a structure from motion algorithm which reconstructs the object digitally as a three-dimensional mesh. The resulting 3D mesh is sent back to the android client device via socket programming for viewing.
