Stereoscopy

[kevinthenerd]

Theoretically, it's possible to produce a partial 3D image from a set of two pictures taken at slightly different locations of the same subject. Your brain does it every day. Could someone point me in the direction of a program that is capable of producing a 3D model from a set of pictures or help me design one?

It is possible. You need ot know where the pictures where taken from and then cast rays "through" the pictures untill the rays intercect. Kinda hard to explain.

This is stereo vision and there are several well known algorithms that can be used to handle it. The classic one would be the Pogoli-Marr Algorithm. Also, the PMF algorithm is very popular.
