We construct a system to use prior 3D class models (3D Potemkin
model) to
automatically reconstruct 3D objects from a single image. To achieve complete automation of the reconstruction process, we describe an approach
involving several steps: detection, segmentation, part registration, and 3D
object creation. We then can use the resulting 3D object to construct realistic
3D 'pop-up' models from photos automatically.
