Abstract

Surface representation is needed for almost all modelingand visualization applications, but unfortunately, 3D datafrom a passive vision system are often insufficient for a traditionalsurface reconstruction technique that is designedfor densely scanned 3D point data. In this paper, we developa new method for surface reconstruction by combiningboth 3D data and 2D image information. The silhouetteinformation extracted from 2D images can also be integratedas an option if it is available. The new methodis a variational approach with a new functional integrating3D stereo data with 2D image information. This givesa more robust approach than existing methods using onlypure 2D information or 3D stereo data. We also propose abounded regularization method to implement efficiently thesurface evolution by level-set methods. The properties ofthe algorithms are discussed, proved for some cases, andempirically demonstrated through intensive experiments onreal sequences.
