SFM (Structure from Motion)

Structure from Motion (SFM) is a process that creates 3D models of objects or environments from multiple 2D images taken from different angles. It analyzes the images to identify common features, calculates the position of the camera for each shot, and then reconstructs the spatial arrangement of the features, revealing the shape and depth of the scene. This technique is used in areas like archaeology, film, and surveying to generate accurate 3D representations without the need for specialized 3D scanning equipment. Essentially, SFM transforms flat images into detailed, three-dimensional visualizations.
