Abstract. Computer
vision becomes increasingly important in several scientific,
social and economical domains. Not seldom decisions in these areas
are based amongst others on accurate computer models in general
and 3D computer models in particular. The area of 3D
reconstruction is the subarea of computer vision which involves
the creation of accurate 3D models from all sorts of input, like
photographic images, laser scans, altimetry,...
In this paper we will present a novel, interactive and
user-friendly software environment, called RECONLAB, together
with its mathematical background. The system is amongst others
capable of creating a 3D model of an object from images taken from
that object.
