I wonder if this process have anything to do with Computer Vision?

The "scan" part doesn't seem that integral - can't geometry be constructed by means other than recreating it from real life i.e. being drawn by 3d artists, or even algorithmically?

@Arthas007 Yep. Signal processing in general, and geometry processing more specifically, is not really a part of graphics or vision per se: both disciplines use signal processing as a more basic tool (just as they both use, say, numerical linear algebra). Historically computer vision has focused more on 2D images, whereas computer graphics really started working with 3D geometry from the beginning. But that's changing a lot, and you're seeing more and more geometry processing work being done in vision these days.
