Projective Texturing

I spent some time this last week getting started with the new projective texturing system. Here is what the current system looks like:

In order to improve this system, two main changes will be made. The first is to perform a histogram equalization on all input pictures, bringing the regions of the cistern to a more uniform brightness and contrast. The second step will be to wait the projections closest to the camera higher than the projections further from the camera. This will cause the camera to view a cistern more consistent with the source photographs from the c

amera's location.

So far, histogram equalization does a good job of equalizing the image, but it really emphasizes the backscatter in the water. I will need to perform a smoothing pass on the images in order to remove this effect.
