Abstract

This paper describes an approach to recovering surface models ofcomplex scenes from the quasi-sparse data returned by a featurebased stereo system. The method can be used to merge stereo resultsobtained from different viewpoints into a single coherent surfacemesh. The technique proceeds by exploiting the free space theoremwhich provides a principled mechanism for reasoning about thestructure of the scene based on quasi-sparse correspondences inmultiple image. Effective methods for overcoming the difficultiesposed by missing features and outliers are discussed. Resultsobtained by applying this approach to actual images are presented.
