Map Reconstruction for Driving Scenarios Using Monocular Camera: Map Reconstruction for Driving Scenarios

Environment reconstruction from a monocular camera has been a popular research topic. This technique can be applied to automatic navigation, environment exploration and automatic obstacle avoidance. This paper proposes stereo matching and aims to match the low gradient area around the high gradient area between two images correctly by using the epipolar geometry. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed regularization algorithm can eliminate most of the noises and reconstruct a more clearly point cloud.
