Example Multiview Uncalibrated Reconstruction Sparse
From BoofCV
Jump to navigationJump to search| Scene being reconstructed | Pseudo color sparse reconstruction from uncalibrated input images. |
Reconstruction from uncalibrated images is one of the more challenging problems in 3D scene reconstruction since the lens parameters are not initially known and are notoriously unstable to estimate. In this example BoofCV takes a sequence of uncalibrated images and carefully estimates the metric reconstruction from the sparse features. This will then be used to perform dense reconstruction.
Example Code:
Concepts:
- Structure from Motion
- Sparse Bundle Adjustment
- Multi Baseline Stereo
- Dense Multiview Reconstruction

/**
* Estimate scene parameters using a sparse set of features across uncalibrated images. In this example, a KLT
* feature tracker will be used due to speed and simplicity even though there are some disadvantages
* mentioned below. After image features have been tracked across the sequence we will first determine 3D
* connectivity through two-view geometry, followed my a metric elevation. Then a final refinement
* using bundle adjustment.
*
* This is unusual in that it will estimate intrinsic parameters from scratch with very few assumptions.
* Most MVS software uses a data base of known camera parameters to provide an initial seed as this can simplify
* the problem and make it more stable.
