Note: I am not asking for code just the name of some algorithms I can research

Problem

I'm trying to do a 3D reconstruction from multiple images where the subject is rotating.

I don't have a background in the CV field and my mathematics is not particularly good so I am reliant on either simply worded papers or existing libraries/tools.

Where I am right now

I have been researching and testing using Structure from Motion (with VisualSFM) to generate a 3d point cloud and Multi View Stereo (with CMPMVS) to reconstruct the scene.

Obviously these algorithms are designed to process images where the camera (or cameras) moves and the scene is stationary so the reconstructions fail for a number of reasons.

Question

Does anyone know the name of an algorithm/pipeline that will be able to reconstruct a series of images with a static background and a rotating object?

Example: I've been working with short videos of a person rotating around a marker on the floor. I've tried removing the background but this seems to make it harder for SfM to build pairs, probably because of the lack of information.

Or is it not possible to do a 3d reconstruction in this way?
