Definition
Multiview stereo refers to the task of reconstructing a 3D shape from calibrated overlapping images captured from different viewpoints. Various representations of 3D shape can be used. For example, dense 3D point cloud or surface mesh representations are common in applications that synthesize a new photorealistic image of the scene using computer graphic rendering techniques. The topics of multiview stereo and multi-baseline stereo matching share key concepts related to the recovery of dense 2D pixel correspondences in multiple images.
Background
Reconstructing 3D geometry from images (often also called 3D photography) involves using cameras or optical sensors (and optionally illumination) to acquire the 3D shape and appearance of objects and scenes in the real world. Existing methods can be broadly divided into two categories – active and passivemethods. Active methods usually...
