| Title | Automated Pipeline for 3D Reconstruction and VR Visualization from Images |
| Summary | In recent years, 3D reconstruction from images has attracted growing attention due to its applications in cultural heritage preservation, architecture, and even real estate. For example, in the context of property rental or sales, 3D VR tours are becoming increasingly popular as they allow potential tenants or buyers to experience a space remotely without needing a physical visit. With the increasing popularity of virtual reality (VR), there is growing demand for converting real-world scenes into VR environments. Tools such as COLMAP, Blender a and Unity make it possible to reconstruct 3D models from photographs, but they involve multiple technical steps and are not easily accessible to non-experts. For this project, I would like to explore the feasibility of building an automated pipeline that takes simple images as input and produces a VR-ready 3D environment as output. Such a system could lower the barrier to 3D VR creation, with practical applications such as virtual property tours for rental, heritage preservation and other possible industrial that require a 3D or VR environment. The aim is to investigate whether such an approach can bridge the gap between photogrammetry and everyday VR applications by lowering the barrier of entry. Objective: The main objectives of the project are to: • Study existing 3D reconstruction techniques and VR integration methods. • Develop an automated pipeline that connects COLMAP → Blender → Unity. • Demonstrate the system through practical use cases • Evaluate the usability, performance, and model quality of the system. • Build a desktop application with a graphical user interface (GUI) to make the process accessible to non-technical users. |
