Single View Modeling
This time around, the idea is that we’ll take a one-point perspective image and reconstruct a 3D model (here an axis-aligned box) of its content. Our input is the image itself, a focal length, the coordinates of the back plane, and a vanishing point. With a bit of math, we can use this information to compute the depth of the scene. Then we can put together a 3D box, rectify each of the side images onto its walls, and tour its interior as we please.

Here’s a video demonstrating the usage of our “tour into the picture” software. For those wondering, said software is controlled using both the keyboard and the mouse.
Below is a source image with the user-specified points overlayed onto it. From this depiction, it should be easy to see the vanishing lines, the back plane of our eventual model, and the other four planes to boot.
The next two figures contain novel views, captured whilst touring the inside of our box.
We continue with a few other examples. As you may or may not see, throne rooms seemed to provide decent geometry for our task.
This final video is less of a serious one, and emerged originally through trial adjustment of the OpenGL viewing settings.
