The lecture and exercises will cover 3D reconstruction from various input modalities (Webcams, RGB-D cameras (Kinect, Realsense, …). It will start with basic concepts of what is 3D, the different representations, how to capture 3D and how the devices and sensors function. Based on this introduction, rigid and non-rigid tracking and reconstruction will be discussed. Specialized face and body tracking methods will be covered and the applications of the 3D reconstruction and tracking will be shown. In addition to the 3D surface reconstruction, techniques for appearance modelling and material estimation will be shown.
