Abstract

Reconstruction of 3D structures from multiple 2D images has wide applications in such fields as computer vision, cultural heritage preservation, etc. This paper presents a novel multi-view stereo algorithm based on homogeneous direct spatial expansion (MVS-HDSE) with high reconstruction accuracy and completeness. It adopts many unique measures in each step of reconstruction, including initial seed point extraction using the DAISY descriptor to increase the number of initial sparse seed points, homogeneous direct spatial expansion to enhance efficiency, initial value modification via a conditional-double-surface-fitting method before optimization and adaptive consistency filtering after optimization to ensure high accuracy, processing using a multi-level image pyramid to further improve completeness and efficiency, etc. As demonstrated by experiments, owing to above measures the proposed algorithm attained much improved reconstruction completeness and accuracy.
