Automatic 3D Reconstruction from a Single Catadioptric Omnidirectional Image

Abstract

In this paper we present a method for 3D urban reconstruction from a single catadioptric omnidirectional image. Firstly, we classify the catadioptric omnidirectional image to horizontal ground, vertical building surface and vertical background surface through the registration between catadioptric omnidirectional image and remote sensing image. According to the classification results, we recover the geometry based on the catadioptric projection model. The experiment shows that our method is feasible and realizes a precise 3D reconstruction for the city scenes.
