ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose an improved method for generating a dense point cloud from aerial images captured by a UAV camera. The proposed method is based on a PMVS approach and generates a dense 3D points using a bidirectional pyramid images. This approach is suitable for the characteristics of the aerial image set when the distance between the camera and the subject is large. In addition, the proposed method uses an automatic sky masking technique to generate a clean reconstruction result free of noise components in the sky area. The proposed method is applied not only to open experimental images but also to UAV aerial images.

3D reconstruction framework via combining one 3D scanner and multiple stereo trackers
This paper presents a novel 3D reconstruction framework of large objects, where we adopt one 3D scanner to reconstruct partial sections of large objects, and employ multiple stereo trackers to extend reconstruction range. Both the 3D scanner and stereo ...
Depth Estimation in Multi-View Stereo Based on Image Pyramid
CSAI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 2nd International Conference on Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence3D reconstruction using Struct-from-Motion(SFM) and Multi-View Stereo(MVS), along with image-based rendering (IBR), has been applied to the synthesis of the virtual-viewpoint images. We have investigated the latest works, and we find that the underlying ...
Temporally Coherent General Dynamic Scene Reconstruction
AbstractExisting techniques for dynamic scene reconstruction from multiple wide-baseline cameras primarily focus on reconstruction in controlled environments, with fixed calibrated cameras and strong prior constraints. This paper introduces a general ...
