Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of the Microstructure Surface from its Stereo Images

Abstract

Research results of the approaches to solving of three-dimensional surface reconstruction problem from a pair of stereo images are presented in the paper. The variational approach to stereo image matching is developed. The approach is reduced to solution of a differential equation, which is written in a new form. The reconstruction algorithm is elaborated taking into account peculiarities of fractographic and metallographic analysis of surface microstructure
