Silhouette Extraction for Visual Hull Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of volumetric 3D reconstruction methods need accurate silhouette information of foreground objects for the reliable 3D scene reconstruction of the objects. We present an approach to silhouette extraction based on our change detection method [1] using a statistical model and graph cuts based optimization. We describe some requirements for visual hull reconstruction. We show that our change detection method is appropriate to satisfy these requirements. We analyze our methodology through experiments and have shown the feasibility of reliable extraction of silhouettes. Consequently, we can reconstruct the 3D shape more accurately than by other change detection methods.

A Bayesian Approach to Image-Based Visual Hull Reconstruction
We present a Bayesian approach to image-based visual hull reconstruction. The 3-D shape of an object of a known class is represented by sets of silhouette views simultaneously observed from multiple cameras. We show how the use of a class-specific prior in a visual hull reconstruction can reduce the effect of segmentation errors from the silhouette extraction process. In our representation, 3-D...
متن کاملSilhouette Extraction from Multiple Images of an Unknown Background
Silhouette information is important in many applications such as virtual reality and visual hull construction. However, silhouette extraction from images relies on a known background. In this paper, we propose a method for silhouette extraction from an arbitrarily unknown background. To do this, we use multiple calibrated images. Each input image is first segmented in regions. Then, the consist...
متن کاملA Statistical Image-Based Shape Model for Visual Hull Reconstruction and 3D Structure Inference
We present a statistical image-based “shape + structure” model for Bayesian visual hull reconstruction and 3D structure inference. The 3D shape of a class of objects is represented by sets of contours from silhouette views simultaneously observed from multiple calibrated cameras. Bayesian reconstructions of new shapes are then estimated using a prior density constructed with a mixture model and...
متن کاملVisual Hull Alignment and Refinement Across Time: A 3D Reconstruction Algorithm Combining Shape-From-Silhouette with Stereo
Visual Hull (VH) construction from silhouette images is a popular method of shape estimation. The method, also known as Shape-From-Silhouette (SFS), is used in many applications such as non-invasive 3D model acquisition, obstacle avoidance, and more recently human motion tracking and analysis. One of the limitations of SFS, however, is that the approximated shape can be very coarse when there a...
متن کاملQuantification of gaseous structures with volumetric reconstruction from visual hulls
3D reconstruction from visual hulls is a well established technique for camera based reconstruction of 3D objects in computer graphics. We propose in this paper to employ visual hull techniques to quantify the volume of diffusely defined gaseous structures. In our evaluation, visual quality of the 3D reconstructions is secondary. Instead, using synthetic ground truth data, we determine the numb...
