  We reconstruct 3D deformable object through time, in the context of a live
pottery making process where the crafter molds the object. Because the object
suffers from heavy hand interaction, and is being deformed, classical
techniques cannot be applied. We use particle energy optimization to estimate
the object profile and benefit of the object radial symmetry to increase the
robustness of the reconstruction to both occlusion and noise. Our method works
with an unconstrained scalable setup with one or more depth sensors. We
evaluate on our database (released upon publication) on a per-frame and
temporal basis and shows it significantly outperforms state-of-the-art
achieving 7.60mm average object reconstruction error. Further ablation studies
demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
