Robust Calibration and 3D Geometric Modeling From Large Collections of Uncalibrated Images

In this contribution we focus on calibration and 3D surface modeling from uncalibrated images. A large number of images from a scene is collected with a hand-held camera by simply waving the camera around the objects to be modeled. The images need not be taken in sequential order, thus either video streams or sets of still images may be processed. Since images are taken from all possible viewpoints and directions, we are effectively sampling the viewing sphere around the objects.
