Abstract
This paper describes a fast three-dimensional object reconstruction technique. Recently the establishment of a high-speed 3-D reconstruction technique with mobile cameras is expected as one of the contents production technologies of a 3-D television. However, it is not possible to conduct the 3-D reconstruction with mobile cameras by the existent reconstruction techniques. We propose a 3-D object reconstruction technique with two fixed cameras which could be extended to a mobile camera system by simplifying 3-D geostationary object reconstruction technique proposed by Sugimoto & Xu In addition, we employ a software tool named OpenCV to speed up matrix computation which is included in most 3-D reconstruction algorithms and imposes a computer heavy computational load. An experiment was conducted for 3-D reconstruction of a static object by employing the proposed technique. The computation time for recovering the 3-D shape took only 650μs. This shows effectiveness of the proposed technique.
