When you convert a 3D scene to a 2D-projection, you always loose a lot
of data. You can't convert it backwards. You can of course guess what was
the original 3D-data, but you can never get exactly the original (because
the data is lost). If you have more projections of the same image, you can
make better guesses (for example if you have front, top and side projections
of the object, you can guess much better than if you have only one projection,
but the projections are not unique or unambiguous, though).
