Abstract
The multi-view three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method is extensively employed across diverse scientific and engineering domains due to its inherent advantages of flexible system configuration and comprehensive view information. While previous research has extensively studied error and uncertainty in the multi-view system, there is a notable gap in understanding the influence of the number of views on the precision of 3D reconstruction. This paper presents a pioneering investigation of the relationship between the number of views and the precision of 3D reconstruction in multi-view systems. Concise precision estimation formulas are derived in normal and convergent camera configurations. Our most significant contribution lies in the novel discovery of the negative power relationship between the precision of 3D reconstruction and the number of views, substantiated by theoretical derivation, numerical simulations, and real experiments. Consequently, our precision estimation formulas and precision law enable the estimation of 3D reconstruction precision without cumbersome calibration processes. This advancement enhances the flexibility and designability of the multi-view 3D reconstruction technique, enabling it to better meet the diverse measurement demands encountered in various fields.
