<p>A method of constructing a three dimensional representation of a subject. The method comprising the steps of: (i) providing at least two images, in which each image is a different view of the subject; (ii) defining a volume enclosing possible surfaces of the subject, the volume being made up from a plurality of cells; (iii) determining an upper bound on the probability that one of the plurality of the cells encloses the surface of the representation of the subject; (iv) determining a threshold probability; (v) comparing the upper probability bound for the cell with the threshold probability; and (vi) eliminating the cell from the volume if the upper probability bound is less than the threshold probability. The method is useable in various video applications, including image processing, manipulation, tracking, identification, transmission and 3D Television systems.</p> |
