Our novel technique solves the problem of fusing all sources, asynchronously captured from multiple heterogeneous mobile devices around a dynamic scene at a real word location. To this end all captured input is broken down into a massive unordered frame set, sorting the frames along a common time axis, and finally discretizing the ordered frame set into a time-sequence of frame subsets, each subject to photogrammetric 3D reconstruction. The result is a time line of 3D models, each representing a snapshot of the scene evolution in 3D at a specific point in time. Just like a movie is a concatenation of time-discrete frames, representing the evolution of a scene in 2D, the 4D frames reconstructed by c-Space line up to form the captured and dynamically changing 3D geometry of an event over time, thus enabling the user to interact with it in the very same way as with a static 3D model. We do image analysis to automatically maximize the quality of results in the presence of challenging, heterogeneous and asynchronous input sources exhibiting a wide quality spectrum. In addition we show how this technique can be integrated as a 4D reconstruction web service module, available to mobile end-users.en3D computer graphics3D data acquisition3D data processing3D data representation3D model acquisition3D Model Reconstruction3D computer vision3D digitization3D rendering3D Modelingemotion detectionemotion expressionemotion recognitionlearning platformsstorytelling platformsAugmented reality (AR)augmented reality platformsmultimedia database systemsLead Topic: Digitized WorkLead Topic: Smart CityLead Topic: Visual Computing as a ServiceResearch Line: Computer graphics (CG)Research Line: Computer vision (CV)Research Line: Human computer interaction (HCI)Research Line: Modeling (MOD)conference paper
