TOWARDS EUCLIDEAN RECONSTRUCTION FROM VIDEO SEQUENCES

Abstract

This paper presents two algorithms needed to perform a dense 3D-reconstruction from video streams recorded with uncalibrated cameras. Our algorithm for camera self-calibration makes extensive use of the constant focal length. Furthermore, a fast dense reconstruction can be performed by fusion of tessellations obtained from different sub-sequences (LIFT). Moreover, we will present our system for performing the reconstruction in a projective coordinate system. Since critical motions are common in the majority of practical situations, care has been taken to recognize and deal with them.
