Post-Processing to Simplify and Subdivide Three-Dimensional Image

Three-dimensional Imaging and Modeling System （3DIMS） often collects range data of the object from different views‚then completes the registration and integration of several partial images. However‚data volumes of the resulted image are very huge and the image quality is not good enough to satisfy the demand of some applications such as computer animation.Mesh optimization and surface subdivision are needed to post-process the synthesized image.Experimental results indicate the improvement in terms of data volume and surface representation in comparison with the image obtained directly by 3DIMS.
