need help on developing a modeling software

Hi guys, i'm a newbie in CG and need to do a project that require to create a simple software for image processing and create a 3d model for it.

The concept is simple, the software should be able to read SINGLE bitmap image. Process the image and create a model for it using java.

no need to deal with light reflection and shadow. Currently my supervisor ask me to read about edge detection and shading. I know what is the edge detection about and how it work but don't know how it related to my project. Can anyone help me out? tq

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what you wrote above, I understood that you need to make a software that will create 3d models from image?
From what i know it's not an easy task...
Is it really what you need?

Yes. But it will be a very simple software where the shadow and reflection is not under consideration.

And how can an artist help you in this project?

nyekkkk!! hehhehe

you need to be a programmer or a software developer with these.
