+## Responsible AI & Ethics
+
+### Model Limitations & Bias
+
+**Training Data Geographic Bias:**
+- **GLPN**: Trained on NYU Depth V2 dataset (primarily New York City indoor scenes)
+  - **Performance**: Excellent for Western urban interiors, office spaces, apartments
+  - **Limitations**: May underperform on non-Western architecture, outdoor scenes, rural settings
+  
+- **DPT**: Trained on mixed datasets (MIX 6 - multiple indoor/outdoor sources)
+  - **Performance**: Better generalization but still biased toward Western built environments
+  - **Limitations**: Less accurate for cultural artifacts, traditional architecture, natural landscapes
+
+**Scene Type Performance:**
+| Scene Type | GLPN Accuracy | DPT Accuracy | Notes |
+|------------|---------------|--------------|-------|
+| Modern Indoor (Western) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Optimal |
+| Traditional Architecture | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | May miss details |
+| Outdoor/Natural | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | GLPN struggles |
+| Reflective Surfaces | ⭐ | ⭐⭐ | Known failure case |
+| Transparent Objects | ⭐ | ⭐ | Cannot estimate depth |
+
+### Privacy Considerations
+
+**Webcam Usage:**
+- ⚠️ **Warning**: Webcam captures are processed locally but may inadvertently capture:
+  - Identifiable people in background
+  - Sensitive documents or screens
+  - Private spaces or property
+  
+**Best Practices:**
+- Only capture objects/spaces you have permission to document
+- Ensure no people are in frame (or obtain consent)
+- Avoid capturing sensitive information
+- All processing is done locally - no images sent to external servers
+
+**Data Retention:**
+- Images are processed in memory only
+- No automatic storage or logging
+- Downloaded files are user-controlled
+- No telemetry or usage tracking
+
+### Explainability Features
+
+This app provides multiple explainability layers:
+
+1. **Depth Map Visualization**: Color-coded confidence in distance estimation
+2. **Uncertainty Maps**: Shows where model is uncertain (darker = less confident)
+3. **Quality Metrics**: Statistical measures of reconstruction reliability
+4. **Outlier Detection**: Identifies and reports noisy predictions
+5. **Model Comparison**: Compare GLPN vs DPT to understand model differences
+
+### Fairness & Accessibility
+
+**Accessibility Features:**
+- File upload (primary method) - works for all users
+- Webcam (optional) - for users with camera access
+- Multiple format exports - compatible with free software
+- Detailed documentation - no assumed prior knowledge
+
+**Known Limitations:**
+- Requires visual input (not accessible to blind users for capture)
+- Processing time varies by hardware (may disadvantage low-resource users)
+- Models optimized for Western scenes (geographic bias)
+
+### Environmental Impact
+
+**Computational Cost:**
+- **GLPN Processing**: ~2GB RAM, 0.3-2.5s CPU time
+- **DPT Processing**: ~5GB RAM, 0.8-6.5s CPU time
+- **Carbon Estimate**: ~0.001-0.005 kWh per reconstruction
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Use GLPN for most tasks (4x more efficient)
+- Batch process multiple images to reduce overhead
+- Consider hardware upgrade carbon cost vs processing efficiency
+
+### Dual-Use & Misuse Prevention
+
+**Prohibited Uses:**
+- ❌ Unauthorized surveillance or monitoring
+- ❌ Scanning people without explicit consent
+- ❌ Documenting property without permission
+- ❌ Creating deepfakes or deceptive content
+- ❌ Any use that violates privacy or dignity
+
+**Intended Uses:**
+- ✅ Educational research and learning
+- ✅ Personal photography projects
+- ✅ Architectural documentation (with permission)
+- ✅ Product design and prototyping
+- ✅ Cultural heritage preservation (authorized)
+
+### Terms of Use
+
+By using this application, you agree to:
+1. Only process images you have rights to use
+2. Not capture identifiable people without consent
+3. Use outputs ethically and legally
+4. Not use for surveillance or deceptive purposes
+5. Understand model limitations and biases
+
+**If you observe misuse or have ethical concerns, please report them.**

+## Theoretical Background
+
+## About This Tool
+            
+This application demonstrates how artificial intelligence can convert single 2D photographs into interactive 3D models automatically.
+            
+### What Makes This Special
+            
+**Traditional Approach:**
+- Need special equipment (3D scanner, multiple cameras)
+- Requires technical expertise
+- Time-consuming process
+- Expensive    
+---
+            
+## The Technology
+            
+### AI Models Used
+            
+This tool uses state-of-the-art artificial intelligence models:
+            
+
+### Depth Estimation Technology
+
+**GLPN (Global-Local Path Networks)**
+- Paper: Kim et al., CVPR 2022
+- Optimized for: Indoor/outdoor architectural scenes
+- Training: NYU Depth V2 (urban indoor environments)
+- Best for: Building interiors, street-level views, architectural details
+- Geographic advantage: Fast processing for field documentation
+
+**DPT (Dense Prediction Transformer)**
+- Paper: Ranftl et al., ICCV 2021
+- Optimized for: Complex urban scenes
+- Training: Multiple datasets (urban and natural environments)
+- Best for: Wide-area urban landscapes, complex built environments
+- Geographic advantage: Superior accuracy for planning-grade documentation
+
+### How It Works (Simple)
+1. **AI looks at photo** → Recognizes objects, patterns, perspective
+2. **Estimates distance** → Figures out what's close, what's far
+3. **Creates 3D points** → Places colored dots in 3D space
+4. **Builds surface** → Connects dots into smooth shape
+
+### Multi-Image Processing & Automatic Alignment (NEW!)
+
+**Single Image Mode:**
+- Fast, works from one photo
+- Relative depth only (no absolute scale)
+- Hidden surfaces cannot be reconstructed
+
+**Multiple Image Mode:**
+- Upload 2-8 images of same object/scene from different angles
+- **Automatic Alignment**: Uses ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm to align point clouds
+- **Automatic Merging**: Combines aligned point clouds into unified 3D model
+- No manual alignment needed - fully automated!
+
+**Alignment Pipeline:**
+1. **Feature Extraction**: Computes FPFH (Fast Point Feature Histograms) for each point cloud
+2. **Global Registration**: RANSAC-based matching to find initial alignment
+3. **Refinement**: ICP (Iterative Closest Point) for precise alignment
+4. **Merging**: Combines aligned clouds, removes duplicates, creates unified mesh
+
+**Why Multiple Images Help:**
+- Complete 360° coverage (all sides visible)
+- Better accuracy through redundancy
+- More complete models
+- Professional-grade results automatically!

+            ## Reconstruction Pipeline Details
+            
+            This application uses an **enhanced 13-step automated pipeline** (with alignment):
+            
+            **For Each Image:**
+            1. **Image Preprocessing**: Resize to model requirements (divisible by 32)
+            2. **Depth Estimation**: Neural network inference (GLPN or DPT)
+            3. **Uncertainty Estimation**: Compute local depth variance as confidence measure
+            4. **Failure Detection**: Identify challenging conditions (reflections, low contrast, etc.)
+            5. **Point Cloud Generation**: Back-project using pinhole camera model
+            6. **Outlier Removal**: Statistical filtering (20 neighbors, 2.0 std ratio)
+            7. **Normal Estimation**: Local plane fitting for surface orientation
+            8. **Mesh Reconstruction**: Poisson surface reconstruction (depth=10)
+            9. **Quality Metrics**: Compute manifold properties and geometric measures
+            
+            **For Multiple Images (Automatic Alignment):**
+            10. **Feature Computation**: Extract FPFH descriptors from each point cloud
+            11. **Global Registration**: RANSAC-based correspondence matching
+            12. **ICP Refinement**: Iterative Closest Point for precise alignment
+            13. **Merging & Export**: Combine aligned clouds, create unified mesh, export all formats
+            
+            ### Automatic Alignment Algorithm
+            
+            **ICP (Iterative Closest Point):**
+            - Industry-standard algorithm for point cloud registration
+            - Iteratively minimizes distance between corresponding points
+            - Achieves sub-millimeter accuracy in ideal conditions
+            
+            **Process:**
+            1. Downsample point clouds for speed (voxel size = 0.05)
+            2. Compute FPFH features (Fast Point Feature Histograms)
+            3. Find initial transformation with RANSAC (100,000 iterations)
+            4. Refine with point-to-plane ICP (threshold = 0.02)
+            5. Apply transformation and merge
+            
+            **Quality Metrics:**
+            - **Fitness**: Ratio of inlier correspondences (higher = better alignment)
+            - **RMSE**: Root mean squared error of aligned points (lower = better)
+            - Typical good values: Fitness > 0.7, RMSE < 0.05
+            
+            ## Model Comparison
+            
+            | Feature | GLPN (Recommended) | DPT (High Quality) |
+            |---------|-------------------|-------------------|
+            | **Speed** | Fast (~0.3-2.5s) | Slower (~0.8-6.5s) |
+            | **Quality** | Good | Excellent |
+            | **Memory** | Low (~2GB) | High (~5GB) |
+            | **Best For** | Indoor scenes, Real-time | Complex scenes, Highest quality |
+            | **Training** | NYU Depth V2 (NYC indoors) | Multiple datasets |
+            | **Geographic Bias** | High (Western indoor) | Moderate (more diverse) |

+            ### Step 3: Select Visualization
+            - **Mesh**: Solid 3D surface (most intuitive)
+            - **Point Cloud**: Individual colored 3D points (shows raw data)
+            - **Both**: Side-by-side comparison
+            
+            ### Step 4: Review Results
+            
+            **NEW: Uncertainty Maps**
+            - Red areas = Model is less confident
+            - Blue areas = Model is more confident
+            - Use to identify problematic regions
+            
+            **NEW: Automatic Warnings**
+            The system now detects:
+            - Very dark images
+            - Low contrast/uniform textures
+            - Potential reflective surfaces
+            - Sharp discontinuities (transparent objects)
+            - Low resolution inputs
+            
+            ### Step 5: Download & Use Files
+            
+            **For Single Image:**
+            - Download ZIP file with point cloud, mesh (PLY/OBJ/STL), and metrics
+            
+            **For Multiple Images with Alignment:**
+            - Download ZIP file containing:
+              - Individual reconstructions (image_1_*, image_2_*, etc.)
+              - **MERGED files** (automatically aligned and combined!) ⭐
+              - All formats: PLY, OBJ, STL
+              - Metrics JSON with alignment quality
+            
+            **The MERGED files are ready to use immediately - no manual alignment needed!**
+            
+            ### Understanding Alignment Results
+            
+            **In the Report:**
+            - **Translation Distance**: How far each image was moved to align (in arbitrary units)
+            - **Merged Statistics**: Total points/vertices in unified model
+            - **Watertight Status**: Whether merged mesh is 3D-printable
+            
+            **If Alignment Fails:**
+            - Not enough overlap between images
+            - Very different viewpoints
+            - Lack of distinctive features
+            - Reflective/transparent surfaces
+            - **Solution**: Retake photos with more overlap, or use manual alignment in CloudCompare
+            
+            ## Understanding Explainability Features
+            
+            ### Uncertainty Visualization
+            - **What it shows**: Where the model is guessing vs confident
+            - **How to use**: Avoid relying on high-uncertainty regions for measurements
+            - **Threshold**: >0.7 uncertainty = very uncertain, <0.3 = confident
+            
+            ### Automatic Warning System
+            The app now detects and warns about:
+            
+            1. **Dark Images**: May reduce depth accuracy
+               - Solution: Brighten image or use flash
+            
+            2. **Low Contrast**: Uniform textures confuse depth estimation
+               - Solution: Add textured reference objects
+            
+            3. **Reflective Surfaces**: Mirrors, glass, polished metal
+               - Solution: Use matte spray or avoid these materials
+            
+            4. **Transparent Objects**: Glass, water, clear plastic
+               - Solution: These cannot be reconstructed reliably
+            
+            5. **Low Resolution**: <320x240 pixels
+               - Solution: Use higher resolution camera
+            
+            ## Tips for Best Results
+            
+            ### DO:
+            - ✅ Use well-lit images (natural diffused light best)
+            - ✅ Include visible depth cues (corners, edges)
+            - ✅ Use textured surfaces
+            - ✅ Take multiple angles for complete coverage
+            - ✅ Check uncertainty maps for problem areas
+            - ✅ Read warnings and adjust accordingly
+            
+            ### AVOID:
+            - ❌ Motion blur or defocused images
+            - ❌ Reflective surfaces (mirrors, polished metal)
+            - ❌ Transparent objects (glass, clear plastic)
+            - ❌ Completely uniform textures (blank walls)
+            - ❌ Harsh shadows or backlighting
+            - ❌ Extreme close-ups or distant scenes
+            
+            ## Troubleshooting
+            
+            **High uncertainty in depth map:**
+            - Check warnings for specific issues
+            - Try different lighting
+            - Add textured objects for reference
+            - Use DPT model instead of GLPN
+            
+            **Poor alignment with multiple images:**
+            - Ensure sufficient overlap (30-50%)
+            - Use consistent lighting across all images
+            - Maintain similar camera distance
+            - Include distinctive features for matching
+            - Avoid moving objects in scene
+            - Try disabling alignment checkbox and use manual methods if needed
+            
+            **Alignment takes too long:**
+            - Normal for 4+ images (can take 2-5 minutes)
+            - FPFH feature computation is intensive
+            - Disable alignment if you prefer manual methods
+            - Use fewer images for faster processing
+            
+            **Model seems biased:**
+            - Check "Responsible AI" tab for known limitations
+            - GLPN works best on Western indoor scenes
+            - Try DPT for non-Western or outdoor scenes
+            - Document and report significant bias
