Visual hull is a geometric entity created by shape-from-silhouette 3D reconstruction technique. This technique assumes the foreground object in an image can be separated from the background. Under this assumption, the original image can be thresholded into a foreground/background binary image, which we call a silhouette image. The foreground mask, known as a silhouette, is the 2D projection of the corresponding 3D foreground object. Along with the camera viewing parameters, the silhouette defines a back-projected generalized cone that contains the actual object. This cone is called a ''silhouette cone''. The upper right thumbnail shows two such cones produced from two silhouette images taken from different viewpoints. The intersection of the two cones object (see the bottom right thumbnail).
