ABSTRACT:
In an image processing system, a subject object210is placed on top of an object support220on a calibration object34having a known pattern of features thereon. Images recorded at different positions and orientations are processed to generate a three-dimensional computer model of the subject object alone or the subject object together with the calibration object. By imaging the subject object210on an object support instead of placing it directly on the calibration object, the user is provided with flexibility in the selection of the pattern and color of the calibration and the selection of the imaging positions and orientations. By providing an object support220having a top surface on which the subject object210sits which does not protrude from beneath the base of the subject object210, the user is provided with flexibility in the selection of lighting conditions. By imaging the subject object210with a background screen228behind it, the user is provided with flexibility in the selection of the surface on which the calibration object34is placed for imaging.
