Problem Statement
• Assuming:– Arbitrary (known) camera placement.– Arbitrary scene shape.– Arbitrary scene texture, color and background.– Lambertian.
• Input: N photographs of a scene
• Output: 3D structure of the scene
Context
• Traditional Approach to 3D Reconstruction– Correspondence based
“Many scenes can account for the input images”
Shape by Space Carving
• Scene or volume based
• No correspondences needed!
Picture-Shape Constraint
Photo Hull
• Definition: Maximal volume, V, reproducing all possible silhouettes of an object, S, from viewing region R.

Shape by Space Carving
• Given a volume containing the object, iteratively carves it out until it converges to the Photo Hull.

ConsistencyRendering colored voxels from input viewpoints reproduces original images.
Point photo-consistent: A point (voxel) that can be assigned a color consistent with its projection in all visible cameras.

Consistency (cont.)
Shape Photo-consistent: A shape for which all surface points are photo-consistent.
Photo-Hull: Union of all photo-consistent subsets of initial volume.
VPhoto-hull of V
Photo-consistent subsets of V
Proposed Algorithm
1. Initialize the volume containing the shape;
2. Analyze each visible voxel for point consistency (plane sweep strategy);
3. Repeat step 2 until no voxel is found inconsistent;
4. Merge photo consistent subsets.
Plane Sweep Strategy
Sequence of plane sweeps along 6 principle directions.
Only cameras behind the sweep plane are used for consistency checking.

Space Carving Discussion
• Least-commitment Reconstruction– No a-priori constraints– Flexible acquisition– Insensitivity to occlusion– Efficient– Scalable
• Setup– Camera calibration– Sensitivity to specularities and transparencies
