Multi Viewpoint Stereo from Uncalibrated Video Sequences

This contribution describes an automatic 3D surface modeling system that extracts dense metric 3D surfaces from an uncalibrated video sequence. A static 3D scene is observed from multiple viewpoints by freely moving a video camera around the object. No restrictions on camera movement and internal camera parameters like zoom are imposed, as the camera pose and intrinsic parameters are calibrated from the sequence.
