3D RECONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATIONS

Goal

The goal of our work is the reconstruction of a natural video sequence with a set of 3D models. The input video sequence is a set of images in the context of a static and rigid scene. This issue is of interest in many applications, such as compression or navigation in multimedia applications.

Experimental Results

Indoor natural sequence

This sequence is a part of a large indoor sequence. We can see the original one and the reconstructed one which uses several 3D models. Images of these sequences have been cropped in order to avoid flicking textures.

Outdoor natural sequence

This sequence is an outdoor sequence with sew geometric primitives. Optic flow algorithms are known to be better than primitive based algorithms on this kind of sequence. We can see the original one and the reconstructed one which uses several 3D models (this sequence have not been cropped, so we can see texture flicking). Moreover a texture morphing technique have been used in order to produce a smooth transition between 3D models. On bottom we can see a small part of the original sequence and a virtual reconstructed one : a rotation of 15deg over x axe have been applied on the camera.
