Definition
The process of creating three-dimensional models from two-dimensional images or video.
Detailed Explanation
3D reconstruction involves estimating the 3D structure of objects or scenes from multiple 2D views. Techniques include structure from motion photogrammetry and depth estimation. The process typically involves feature matching camera pose estimation and point cloud generation followed by mesh reconstruction.
