The proposed method provides assistance in construction of a depth map, which is a necessity of 3D scenes. Moreover, the method focuses on the fundamental image structural element analysis, and divides them into six successive steps. Furthermore, complicated mathematic calculation and approximation are replaced by six block-based estimation algorithms. Also, the method is a regular algorithm design which is suitable for VLSI design on future 3D applications. © 2006 IEEE.Approximation algorithms; Three dimensional computer graphics; 3D application; 3D scene reconstruction; Algorithm design; Block based; Estimation algorithm; Structural elements; Vanishing line; Vanishing point detection; Image reconstructionconference paper10.1109/ISPACS.2006.3647262-s2.0-45249118135
