The goal Automatically reconstruct 3D geometry from large collections of photos from the Internet
Motivation • New way to organize photo collections • Experience of being at a place
Related works • Image based modeling • Moviemaps • Structure from motion (SfM)
Challenges • Unknown cameras position • Unknown internal camera parameters • Correspondence problem • Visualization • Algorithmic complexity Running the complete pipeline on a 3.80GHz Intel Xeon machine with 4GB of core memory. The keypoint detection and matching phases were run in parallel on 10 such machines.
Finding correspondence • Feature detection - SIFT • Feature matching - RANSAC • Epipolar constraint
Structure from Motion Algorithm • Initial two-frame • reconstruction • Intermediate stage • Final reconstruction
Failure modes • Repeating textures • Insufficient overlap or texture • Cascading errors • Bad initialization
SceneVisualization: Photo Tourism:3D photo browser
Photo Tourism: Main components • Rendering engine • Navigation interface • Tools for scene annotation
Navigation interface • Object-based navigation • Stabilized slideshow
Scene annotation • Register new photographs • Annotate regions
SceneVisualization: PathFinder:3D navigation interface
Best possible controls • The goals of 3D navigation: • Exploration • Search • Object inspection • Principles for 3D scene navigation: • Controls are scene and task dependent • Constrained and automatic navigation • User’s position and motion should be clear
Pathfinder: Main components • Viewpoint scoring • Navigation controls for a scene • Rendering engine • User interface
Scene-specific controls: Panoramas and Orbits • Panoramas • Orbits
Path planning • Connectivity graph • High-quality rendering • Shortest path • Piecewise linear path • Path smoothing
Limitations • Non circular orbits • User needs • Appearance compensation • Larger scenes Pisa Doumo Stonehenge
Conclusion • Structure from motion • Photo Tourism - 3D photo browser • Path Finder - 3D navigation system Future work • Reconstructing Rome • Capturing appearance • New photo-sharing community
