An imaging method and system for 3D modeling of a 3D surface forms a mosaic form multiple uncalibrated 3D images, without relying on camera position data to merge to 3D images. The system forms the 3D model by merging two 3D images to form a mosaiced image, merging the mosaiced image with another 3D image, and repeating the merging process with new 3D images one by one until the 3D model is complete. The images are aligned in a common coordinate system via spatial transformation and preferably merged using a fuzzy weighting average function to smooth boundary areas between 3D images. The 3D model may be compressed using image compression techniques. In one embodiment, a 2D texture/color overlay is placed over the 3D model to provide a more realistic representation of the object being modeled. |
