Two-view curve reconstruction based on the snake model

AbstractReconstruction of 3D curves from their stereo images is an important issue in computer vision. Based on deformation of the snake model and NURBS representation, we evolve the curve in the view of inverse optimization to finish reconstruction. This manner can reduce the need of matching multi-view space curve projections, meanwhile improve the reconstruction precision. Considering that the 2D data reconstruction exists error inevitably, based on two cameras, a discussion on its influence to stereo reconstruction is given next. Finally, the proposed approach is experimented with artificial and real data, and gains a satisfying reconstruction effect
