Applications of Projective Geometry in 3D Reconstruction | Research in School

In this event, Grade 9 students Adwaita and Siddharth presented an insightful session on projective geometry and its application in 3D reconstruction. Their project focused on using projective geometry concepts, including homogeneous coordinates, epipolar geometry, and cross ratios, to achieve 3D reconstruction through depth estimation.

The session began with an introduction to projective geometry, explaining its role in fields like computer vision and 3D modeling. Adwaita and Siddharth demonstrated how depth estimation is achieved using perspective projections, camera calibration, and triangulation. They showcased their work by reconstructing landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and India Gate, using 2D images to create accurate depth maps and 3D models.

The students also highlighted the broader applications of their approach, including cultural heritage preservation, urban modeling, and virtual reality, where accurate 3D models are essential.

The event concluded with a Q&A session, where the students discussed their methodology and the potential for future advancements in 3D reconstruction. Adwaita and Siddharth's presentation demonstrated a strong understanding of complex geometric concepts, inspiring the audience with the future possibilities of projective geometry in technology and modeling.
