Non-rigid Reconstruction with a Single Moving RGB-D Camera
We present a novel non-rigid reconstruction method using a moving RGB-D
camera. Current approaches use only non-rigid part of the scene and completely
ignore the rigid background. Non-rigid parts often lack sufficient geometric
and photometric information for tracking large frame-to-frame motion. Our
approach uses camera pose estimated from the rigid background for foreground
tracking. This enables robust foreground tracking in situations where large
frame-to-frame motion occurs. Moreover, we are proposing a multi-scale
deformation graph which improves non-rigid tracking without compromising the
quality of the reconstruction. We are also contributing a synthetic dataset
which is made publically available for evaluating non-rigid reconstruction
methods. The dataset provides frame-by-frame ground truth geometry of the
scene, the camera trajectory, and masks for background foreground. Experimental
results show that our approach is more robust in handling larger frame-to-frame
motions and provides better reconstruction compared to state-of-the-art
approaches.Comment: Accepted in International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR

Building with Drones: Accurate 3D Facade Reconstruction using MAVs
Automatic reconstruction of 3D models from images using multi-view
Structure-from-Motion methods has been one of the most fruitful outcomes of
computer vision. These advances combined with the growing popularity of Micro
Aerial Vehicles as an autonomous imaging platform, have made 3D vision tools
ubiquitous for large number of Architecture, Engineering and Construction
applications among audiences, mostly unskilled in computer vision. However, to
obtain high-resolution and accurate reconstructions from a large-scale object
using SfM, there are many critical constraints on the quality of image data,
which often become sources of inaccuracy as the current 3D reconstruction
pipelines do not facilitate the users to determine the fidelity of input data
during the image acquisition. In this paper, we present and advocate a
closed-loop interactive approach that performs incremental reconstruction in
real-time and gives users an online feedback about the quality parameters like
Ground Sampling Distance (GSD), image redundancy, etc on a surface mesh. We
also propose a novel multi-scale camera network design to prevent scene drift
caused by incremental map building, and release the first multi-scale image
sequence dataset as a benchmark. Further, we evaluate our system on real
outdoor scenes, and show that our interactive pipeline combined with a
multi-scale camera network approach provides compelling accuracy in multi-view
reconstruction tasks when compared against the state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 8 Pages, 2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and
