3D Shape Recovery with Registration Assisted Stereo Matching

A novel method for simultaneously acquiring and registering range data of a real object from different viewpoints is presented. Currently, most 3D model reconstruction techniques do not cooperate with the existing range data for shape recovery of future viewpoints. In this work, a stereo vision system is developed for 3D model acquisition. To reduce the computation and increase the accuracy of stereo matching algorithms, the recovered range data from previous viewpoints are registered and then used to provide additional constraints for 3D acquisition of the next viewpoint. Experiments have shown that our approach gives better performance on both execution time and stereo matching results.
