Stereo Reconstruction of Atmospheric Cloud Surfaces from Fish- Eye Camera Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article a method for reconstructing atmospheric cloud surfaces using a stereo camera system is presented. The proposed camera system utilizes fish-eye lenses in a flexible wide baseline camera setup. The entire workflow from the camera calibration to the creation of the 3D point set is discussed, but the focus is mainly on cloud segmentation and on the image processing steps of stereo reconstruction. Speed requirements, geometric limitations, and possible extensions of the presented method are also covered. After evaluating the proposed method on artificial cloud images, this paper concludes with results and discussion of possible applications for such systems.

An important problem for stereo vision is calibration. Although various kinds of...
متن کاملHallucination-Free Multi-View Stereo
We present a multi-view stereo method that avoids producing hallucinated surfaces which do not correspond to real surfaces. Our approach to 3D reconstruction is based on the minimal s-t cut of the graph derived from the Delaunay tetrahedralization of a dense 3D point cloud, which produces water-tight meshes. This is often a desirable property but it hallucinates surfaces in complicated scenes w...

متن کاملActive surface reconstruction by integrating focus, vergence, stereo, and camera calibration
This paper describes a method for estimating surfaces from stereo images. A single pair of stereo images can yield surface reconstruction for only a small volume of space. Since the scene may be large, images are obtained dynamically using different camera configurations through the control of focus and camera vergence. For smooth objects, this results in the reconstruction of surface patches t...
