Abstract
We propose a convex optimization framework delivering intuitive and reasonable 3D meshes from a single photograph. For a given input image, the user can quickly obtain a segmentation of the object in question. Our algorithm then automatically generates an admissible closed surface of arbitrary topology without the requirement of tedious user input. Moreover we provide a tool by which the user is able to interactively modify the result afterwards through parameters and simple operations in a 2D image space. The algorithm targets a limited but relevant class of real world objects. The object silhouette and the additional user input enter a functional which can be optimized globally in a few seconds using recently developed convex relaxation techniques parallelized on state-of-the-art graphics hardware.
