Surface Reconstruction from Outdoor Image Sequences

چکیده
This paper describes the results of a study aimed at inferring the surface structure of outdoor scenes from video data acquired by a vehicle-mounted TV camera. The method is based on a decomposition of each frame of the video sequence into a dense set of feature points. Through the application of a Structure-from-Motion algorithm, the 3D locations of the time-consistent features are estimated and sequentially updated as each new frame is processed. The resultant point-based 3D representation has been found to be reliable, accurate and rich enough to enable the surface structure of the viewed scene to be reconstructed. We present here examples of the surfaces obtained by this 'bottom-up' approach, extracted from a 12 second video sequence. The implications of these results for autonomous vehicle navigation are discussed.

Performance analysis of different surface reconstruction algorithms for 3D reconstruction of outdoor objects from their digital images
3D reconstruction of geo-objects from their digital images is a time-efficient and convenient way of studying the structural features of the object being modelled. This paper presents a 3D reconstruction methodology which can be used to generate photo-realistic 3D watertight surface of different irregular shaped objects, from digital image sequences of the objects. The 3D reconstruction approac...
متن کاملRealistic surface reconstruction of 3D scenes from uncalibrated image sequences
This contribution addresses the problem of obtaining 3D models from image sequences. A 3D surface description of the scene is extracted completely from a set of uncalibrated camera images of the scene. No prior knowledge about the scene or about the camera is needed to build the 3D models. The only assumptions are the rigidity of the scene objects and opaque object surfaces. The modeling system...
متن کاملSurface Reconstruction from Multi - View Stereo of Large - Scale Outdoor Scenes
—This article describes an original method to reconstruct a 3D scene from a sequence of images. Our approach uses both the dense 3D point cloud extracted by multi-view stereovision and the calibrated images. It combines depth-maps construction in the image planes with surface reconstruction through restricted Delaunay triangulation. The method may handle very large scale outdoor scenes. Its acc...
متن کاملOutdoor Scene Reconstruction from Multiple Image Sequences Captured by a Hand-held Video Camera
Three-dimensional (3-D) models of outdoor scenes can be widely used in a number of fields such as object recognition, navigation, scenic simulation, and mixed reality. Such models are often made manually with high costs, so that automatic 3-D reconstruction has been widely investigated. In related works, a dense 3-D model is generated by using a stereo method. However, such approaches cannot us...
متن کاملSurface reconstruction of detect contours for medical image registration purpose
Although, most of the abnormal structures of human brain do not alter the shape of outer envelope of brain (surface), some abnormalities can deform the surface extensively. However, this may be a major problem in a surface-based registration technique, since two nearly identical surfaces are required for surface fitting process. A type of verification known as the circularity check for th...
