[comp.graphics] Transforming multiple 2D-views into one 3D-model

schulz@rhrk.uni-kl.de (Christian Schulz [MW]) (06/18/91)

Hello there,

my problem is to transform multiple 2D-views of a technical object (e.q. the drawings of it)
into one 3D-model. I guess that CAD-systems could have this bahavior.
My question are:

1. Where can I find some information about the mathematical background ?  Especially I'm interested
   in getting to know whether this transformation could be done unambiguously.
2. Are there any algorithms or programs avvailable which are currently doing this job ?

Any pointers to articles, software or any other kinds of publications are appreciated.

A lot of thanks,
                 Mirko.
