Multiresolution image acquisition and surface reconstruction

Consideration is given to the problem of surface reconstruction from stereo images for large scenes having large depth ranges where it is necessary to aim cameras in different directions and to fixate at different objects. The authors concentrate on the selection of new fixation points from among the nonfixated, low resolution scene parts, and subsequent processing for surface reconstruction. The coarse stereo estimates in the vicinity of the new fixation point are refined as the images of the new fixation point gradually deblur during the process of refixation and are subsequently used to analyze the fixated parts of the scene.<<ETX>>
