Automatic Multi-view Surface Matching

Efficient and Globally Optimal Multi View Dense Matching for Aerial Images

A variety of applications exist for aerial 3D reconstruction, ranging from the production of digital surface models (DSMs) and digital terrain models (DTMs) to the creation of true orthophoto and full 3D models of urban scenes that can be visualized through the web. In this paper we present an automated end-to-end workflow to create digital surface models from large scale and highly overlapping...

Performance Evaluation of Local Detectors in the Presence of Noise for Multi-Sensor Remote Sensing Image Matching

Automatic, efficient, accurate, and stable image matching is one of the most critical issues in remote sensing, photogrammetry, and machine vision. In recent decades, various algorithms have been proposed based on the feature-based framework, which concentrates on detecting and describing local features. Understanding the characteristics of different matching algorithms in various applications ...

OSWALD, CREMERS: SURFACE NORMAL INTEGRATION FOR 4D RECONSTRUCTION 1 Surface Normal Integration for Convex Space-time Multi-view Reconstruction

We show that surface normal information allows to significantly improve the accuracy of a spatio-temporal multi-view reconstruction. On one hand, normal information can improve the quality of photometric matching scores. On the other hand, the same normal information can be employed to drive an adaptive anisotropic surface regularization process which better preserves fine details and elongated...

Exploiting the Multi View Geometry for Automatic Surfaces Reconstruction Using Feature Based Matching in Multi Media Photogrammetry

In this paper we present a new method of a feature based matching algorithm for a 3D surface reconstruction exploiting the multiview geometry. The matching algorithm conceptually allows parallel processing treating all images equally. Especially the geometry of the image triplet is used, namely the trilinear relations between image features using the trifocal tensor. The method is transferred t...

Image-based 3D Data Capture in Urban Scenarios

Presuming that airborne imagery is available at a sufficient overlap, state-of-the-art multi-stereo matching can generate DSM raster representations at an accuracy and resolution which corresponds to the ground sampling distance (GSD) of the original images. For such secenarios recent matching software exploits the resulting redundancy and derives surface representations at a remarkable accurac...
