The algorithm is a hybrid between fast heuristic occlusion overcoming algorithms that precompute an approximate visibility and slower methods that use correct visibility handling. Our approach is based on iterative dynamic programming and computes simultaneously disparity and camera visibility. Interestingly, dynamic programming makes it possible to compute exactly part of the visibility information. The remainder is obtained through heuristics. The validity of our scheme is established using real imagery with ground truth and compares favorably with other state-of-the-art multi-baseline stereo algorithms.","PeriodicalId":170883,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM'05)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125977200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A necessary condition to obtain good results is to accurately calibrate the telemetric and photographic sensors together. We present a study of this calibration process and propose an improved extrinsic calibration technique. It is based on an existing technique which consists in scanning a planar pattern in several poses, giving a set of relative position and orientation constraints. The innovation is the use of a more appropriate laser beam distance between telemetric points and the planar target. Moreover, we use robust methods to manage outliers at several steps of the algorithm. Improved results on both theoretical and experimental data are given.","PeriodicalId":170883,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM'05)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128325960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its local character constrains point matching to high textured areas, so that points in gradient-oriented regions (such as straight lines) can not be reliably matched. We propose a new method to overcome this problem by devising a global matching strategy under the factorization framework. We solve the n-frame correspondence problem under this context by assuming the rigidity of the scene. To this end, a geometric constraint is used that selects the matching solution resulting in a rank-4 observation matrix. The rank of the observation matrix is a function of the matching solutions associated to each image and as such a simultaneous solution for all frames has to be found. An optimization procedure is used in this text in order to find the solution.","PeriodicalId":170883,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM'05)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131607048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that in the case of multiple cameras viewing a translating scene, no additional constraints are given by the translational motion compared to the more general case with one camera viewing a scene undergoing a general motion. However, the knowledge of translational motion allows an intermediate affine reconstruction from each camera, and aids in the reconstruction process by simplifying several steps, resulting in a more reliable algorithm for 3D reconstruction. We also identify the critical directions of translation, for which no affine reconstruction is possible. Experiments on real and simulated data are performed to illustrate that the method works in practice.","PeriodicalId":170883,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM'05)","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125691661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on two specific issues: (1) key-frame selection; and (2) projective drift. Given a long video sequence it is often not practical to work with all video frames. In addition, to allow for effective outlier rejection and motion estimation it is necessary to have a sufficient baseline between frames. For this purpose, we propose a key-frame selection procedure based on a robust model selection criterion. Our approach guarantees that the camera motion can be estimated reliably by analyzing the feature correspondences between three consecutive views. Another problem for long uncalibrated video sequences is projective drift. Error accumulation leads to a non-projective distortion of the model. This causes the projective basis at the beginning and the end of the sequence to become inconsistent and leads to the failure of self-calibration. We propose a self-calibration approach that is insensitive to this global projective drift. After self-calibration triplets of key-frames are aligned using absolute orientation and hierarchically merged into a complete metric reconstruction. Next, we compute a detailed 3D surface model using stereo matching. The 3D model is textured using some of the frames.","PeriodicalId":170883,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM'05)","volume":"340 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124780411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This training often consists of taking over 100 images at predetermined points around the viewing sphere in an attempt to account for most angles for viewing the object. However, in many circumstances, the environment is well known and we only expect to see a small subset of all possible appearances. In this paper, we test the idea that under these conditions, it is possible to train an object recognition system on-the-fly using images of an object as it appears in its environment, with supervision from the user. Furthermore, because some views of an object are much more likely than others, the number of training images required can be greatly reduced.","PeriodicalId":170883,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM'05)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128631600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is build up in a hierarchical way, and this on different structural levels instead of using a classic image pyramid. First coarse matching is done on a 'shape basis' only. A background-foreground segmentation yields a fairly accurate contour for every incoming video stream. Inter-relating these contours is a 1D problem and as such very fast. This step is then used to compute small position dependent bounding-boxes in 3D space which enclose the underlying object. The next step is a more expensive window based matching, within the volume of these bounding-boxes. This is limited to a number of regions around 'promising' feature points. Global regularisation is obtained by a graph cut. Speed results here from limiting the number of feature points. In a third step the interpolation is 'pre-rendered' and simultaneously evaluated on a per pixel basis. This is done by computing a Birchfield dissimilarity measure on the GPU. Per pixel parallelised operations keep computational cost low. Finally the bad interpolated parts are 'patched'. This per pixel correction yields the final interpolated view at the finest level. Here we also deal explicitly with opacity at the borders of the foreground object.","PeriodicalId":170883,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM'05)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127056179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
