Voxelizer plug-in for Blender
Published in The MIDAS Journal

Grothausmann R., Gout J., Kühnel M.

This document describes a plug-in for Blender (www.blender.org) that allows to rasterize 3D mesh objects into 3D voxel data, i. e. it allows to voxelize Blender meshes. In 2D, this process can be compared to rasterization of vector graphics into pixel [...]

On the Generation of Ground Truth Data for Depth Reconstruction

On the Generation of Ground Truth Data for Depth Reconstruction
Published in The MIDAS Journal

Staub C., Haider A., Grimm M., Knoll A.

Acquiring data sets for stereo or multi-view reconstruction with known ground truth is costly and time consuming. Freely available data sets mostly focus on specific scene conditions and might not reflect the intended application scenario. We propose a GPU [...]
