VripPack:
Volumetric Range Image Processing Package

 

VripPack is a package for volumetrically merging a set of range images. Developed as part of the project to build a 3D fax machine, it is based on a new approach to surface reconstruction from range images (see Brian Curless and Marc Levoy , A Volumetric Method for Building Complex Models from Range Images, Proceedings of SIGGRAPH96). VripPack is being made available for research and commercial use, free of charge, as described at the bottom of this web page. A closely related software package is Volfill, our diffusion-based hole filler for large polygon meshes.

VripPack Overview

VripPack is a set of source code, scripts, and binaries for creating surface reconstructions from range images. This package has the following features:

Note that VripPack is designed for merging but not aligning range images. We also distribute the scanalyze package which does have an alignment feature. 

VripPack Software Distribution

The current release of VripPack is version 0.31, which is a beta release.  
VripPack for linux (and Cygwin) 
Compressed tar file containing source code, scripts, and linux binaries. The binaries are linked against Tcl/Tk version 8.4 shared libaries under Linux. It is best if these libraries are already installed on your system, but copies for run-time use are provided in this distribution. Alternatively, you may re-compile against another version of Tcl/Tk.
VripPack for SGI 
Compressed tar file containing source code, scripts, and irix binaries for vrippack version 0.2. The irix code base is not actively maintained.
