Abstract:
A method of reconstruction of a tridimensional scene from a bidimensional video sequence corresponding to N successive images of a real scene, comprising in series, for each image, segmented into triangular regions, of the sequence:(A) a first depth labeling step, in which, each view being considered as the projection of a continuous 3D sheet, a multi-view matching is performed independently on each view in order to get a disparity map corresponding to the depth map of said 3D sheet; wherein each view is divided into triangular regions and a depth for each of the triangular regions is chosen form a set of predetermined depths. (B) a second 3D model extraction step, in which an octree subdivision of the 3D space is performed and the voxels lying in the intersection of all 3D depth sheets are kept.
