Abstract

The reconstruction and mapping of real scenes is a crucial element in several fields such as robot navigation. Stereo vision can be a powerful solution. However the perspective effect arises, as well as other problems, when the reconstruction is tackled using depth maps obtained from stereo images. A new approach is proposed to avoid the perspective effect, based on a geometrical rectification using the vanishing point of the image. It also uses sub-pixel precision to solve the lack of information for distant objects. Finally, the method is applied to map a whole scene, introducing a cubic filter.
