Planar urban scene reconstruction from spherical images using facade alignment

Planar urban scene reconstruction from spherical images using facade alignment
We propose a plane-based urban scene reconstruction method using spherical stereo image pairs. We assume that the urban scene consists of axis-aligned approximately planar structures (Manhattan world). Captured spherical stereo images are converted into six central-point perspective images by cubic projection and facade alignment. Facade alignment automatically identifies the principal planes direction in the scene allowing the cubic projection to preserve the plane structure. Depth information is recovered by stereo matching between images and independent 3D rectangular planes are constructed by plane fitting aligned with the principal axes. Finally planar regions are refined by expanding, detecting intersections and cropping based on visibility. The reconstructed model efficiently represents the structure of the scene and texture mapping allows natural walk-through rendering. © 2013 IEEE.

Abstract

We propose a plane-based urban scene reconstruction method using spherical stereo image pairs. We assume that the urban scene consists of axis-aligned approximately planar structures (Manhattan world). Captured spherical stereo images are converted into six central-point perspective images by cubic projection and facade alignment. Facade alignment automatically identifies the principal planes direction in the scene allowing the cubic projection to preserve the plane structure. Depth information is recovered by stereo matching between images and independent 3D rectangular planes are constructed by plane fitting aligned with the principal axes. Finally planar regions are refined by expanding, detecting intersections and cropping based on visibility. The reconstructed model efficiently represents the structure of the scene and texture mapping allows natural walk-through rendering. © 2013 IEEE.
