Abstract

This article describes the dense stereoscopic 3D reconstruction of surfaces which offer only low texture by employing a global matching algorithm with smoothness-based priors in an energy minimization framework. The envisaged application areas are high speed image sequences of dynamic processes where the projection of structured light is not applicable. The lack of depth cues on the measured object normally leads to very sparse and often false reconstructions if common local matching algorithms like cross correlation or least squares matching are employed. Within this AiF funded project an operational photogrammetric stereo measurement system has been developed consisting of a stereo rig with high speed cameras and a global matching algorithm. This system allows for the first time a dense reconstruction of surfaces with low texture in high speed image sequences. Quantitative and qualitative results for two test data sets demonstrate that the determination of a dense point cloud of low texture objects without employing structured light is possible.
