Improved Space Carving Method for Merging and Interpolating Multiple Range Images Using Information of Light Sources of Active Stereo
نویسندگان
چکیده
To merge multiple range data obtained by range scanners, filling holes caused by unmeasured regions, the space carving method is a simple and effective method. However, this method often fails if the number of the input range images is small, because unseen voxels that are not carved out remains in the volume area. In this paper, we propose an improved algorithm of the space carving method that produces stable results. In the proposed method, a discriminant function defined on volume space is used to estimate whether each voxel is inside or outside of the objects. Also, in particular case that the range images are obtained by active stereo method, the information of the positions of the light sources can be used to improve the accuracy of the results.

Optimizing Disparity Candidates Space in Dense Stereo Matching
In this paper, a new approach for optimizing disparity candidates space is proposed for the solution of dense stereo matching problem. The main objectives of this approachare the reduction of average number of disparity candidates per pixel with low computational cost and high assurance of retaining the correct answer. These can be realized due to the effective use of multiple radial windows, i...

متن کاملSurface normal estimation of black specular objects from multiview polarization images
Polarization is a phenomenon that cannot be observed by the human eye, but it provides rich information regarding scenes. The proposed method estimates the surface normal of black specular objects through polarization analysis of reflected light. A unique surface normal cannot be determined from a polarization image observed from a single viewpoint; thus, we observe the object from multiple vie...
متن کاملImplementation of a Shadow Carving System for Shape Capture
We present a new technique for estimating the 3D shape of an object that combines previous ideas from shape from silhouettes and shape from shadows. We begin with a set-up for robustly extracting object silhouettes by casting a shadow of the object with a point light-source onto a translucent panel. A camera on the opposite side of the panel records an image which is readily processed to obtain...

Image fusion is a method for obtaining a highly informative image by merging the relative information of an object obtained from two or more image sources of the same scene. The satellite cameras give a single band panchromatic (PAN) image with high spatial information and multispectral (MS) image with more spectral information. The problem exists today is either PAN or MS image is available fr...
