Right, so here's the scenario.
I'm in my 3rd year computer engineering and have to begin work on a project for my final year. The topic I've chosen is Image Processing.
Now initially, the idea was this:
I would create a 3d model of a room, from a set of multiple photographs taken from a digital camera; I planned to do this using Insight3D or other such software. I would then import this 3D model into opengl, and create a free roaming camera that would allow me to navigate within my created 3D model of a room.
Now upon consulting with the faculty, I was told that since I'm only using available software, I need to be implementing some sort of algorithm too, which I wasn't in my original idea. The only part that involved coding was the camera bit.
So I went back to the drawing board and came up with this:
I would again take photographs of the room, and using photo stitching algorithms in MATLAB, would somehow stitch the photos to create a room model. That way, I was doing the stitching myself without the aid of a software. I then plan on importing this created "room" from MATLAB to opengl and go about the first person camera creation as planned before.
My question is, will this work? Is it possible?
This is the first of it's kind project idea in college and the faculty really seem confused and lost. Since I don't study Image processing until next sem, I also have zero knowledge on the subject. Ofcourse, once I know which direction I should be heading in, I can start studying the needful.
Suggestions would also be highly appreciated, really in a tight spot here.
Thanks!
