4 CONCLUSION 
In this paper an automatic approach was presented that 
takes a video sequence as input and computes a 3D model 
as output. By combining state-of-the-art approaches de- 
veloped in the field of computer vision, computer graph- 
ics and photogrammetry, our system is able to obtain good 
quality results on video as well as on photographic mate- 
rial.
