Abstract

This paper presents an approach to derive the equations of planar patches given a stereo pair of wide baseline or sparse view images. The algorithm starts by detecting junctions in both images using the so-called JUDOCA operator. A transformation matrix can be estimated using the junction attributes. In addition, a rough estimate for the fundamental matrix can be obtained to guide a matching process between the two views. Triangulation is used to reconstruct the locations of 2-edge junctions in space as well as to obtain the equations of 3D lines forming the junctions. This is done by obtaining four planes going through the projections of the junction edges and the optical centers. The equations of the 3D lines are used to get the equation of the plane of the junction.
