Certainly true if only one perspective is used. Sorry, I wasn't clear... I
was considering using at least 3 photos of the same object under similar
lighting conditions taken ideally at equal intervals around the object and
comparing all of them to the model...

The original idea for this was effectively a poor mans digitiser using an
algorithm to make up for not being able to afford to build proper sensing
equipment, with the hope of arriving at a more 'real looking' model of a
complex object that would otherwise be practical...

Thanks for the input, :)

Luke
