title: Automatic video to point cloud registration in a structure-from- motion framework creator: Vidal, Esteban creator: Piotto, Nicola creator: Cordara, Giovanni creator: Morán Burgos, Francisco subject: Telecommunications description: In Structure-from-Motion (SfM) applications, the capability of integrating new visual information into existing 3D models is an important need. In particular, video streams could bring significant advantages, since they provide dense and redundant information, even if normally only relative to a limited portion of the scene. In this work we propose a fast technique to reliably integrate local but dense information from videos into existing global but sparse 3D models. We show how to extract from the video data local 3D information that can be easily processed allowing incremental growing, refinement, and update of the existing 3D models. The proposed technique has been tested against two state-of-the-art SfM algorithms, showing significant improvements in terms of computational time and final point cloud density. publisher: E.T.S.I.
