Re: Create VRML models from photo's

Was it PTStereo? I just looked for it on Helmut's site and
couldn't find it. Maybe it didn't work out very well?
This was an email from Dec 28, 1999
PTStereo creates 3D-worlds from image pairs.
Applications range from object movies to terrain
visualization. Any pair of images can be used
without alignment requirements. 3D-data are
extracted for any feature visible in both images,
as long as the two images have different viewpoint
(non-zero stereo base).
User input involves the triangulation of both
images: Corresponding feature points have to be
identified, and connected to a mesh consisting
of triangles. The output of PTStereo is a
3D-world ready to be viewed with any VRML-browser.
This is a preliminary release of PTStereo
with rather crude user interface and possibly
many bugs. Only the MacOS-platform is currently supported,
but Windows and other platforms will follow.
