3D Scene Reconstruction from Digital Video

Speaker: David McKinnon, ITEE

When: 11.00AM, Tuesday 01 Apr 2003

Venue: 78-622

Host: A/Prof Brian Lovell

Abstract:

  This work is concerned with the field of 3D reconstruction from
  digital image sequences. The basic framework for 3D reconstruction
  attempts to create a dense polygon model of a static scene given a
  number of (2 or more) images take from different perspectives of the
  scene. Applications of 3D reconstruction include digital animation
  and rendering of objects and environments for movies and computer
  games, along with applications in robotics, industrial automation
  and the military.
 
  The goal of this work is to determine a thorough mathematical and
  algorithmic basis for the multiple view geometry of curves and
  surfaces. The approach taken will consider both the implicit and
  explicit representations of curves and surfaces and compare the
  efficacy of each representation. Also, some consideration is given
  to the general problem of Structure From Motion and how the use of
  curves and surfaces as tracking tokens can be made to improve the
  overall stability and quality of tracking and scene reconstruction
  for different types of image sequences.
