Hello,
I am working on the project of constructing a 3d shape of the object from the image silhouette of the object. Basically my project is based on the Shape from Silhouette (SFS) method. For that I have downloaded some files. Some of those are containing matlab code. But I also found some VRML models. I am using cortona3d a VRML viewer. But when I try to edit the model in matlab simulink 3d world editor it gives me error message 'Error reading VRML file'.
I am quite beginner to matlab so help me out with this problem.

This would indicate that the VRML file is invalid, unuspported format, or different version. Because Cortona is able to read the file, probably it's valid but a different format or version. Please inspect the VRML file in a plain text editor (e.g. the MATLAB Editor). It should start like this:
#VRML V2.0 utf8
If it doesn't, the file is not VRLM97 and cannot be used without being converted to VRML97 first. Several tools, like e.g. the included V-Realm editor, can be used to do the conversion.
