Abstract
This paper proposes a 3D shape reconstruction method using a moving camera and a spherical mirror based on the Perspective Factorization Method. Factorization method is quite useful for 3D reconstruction from image sequences. However there is a strict condition that all feature points must be observed in all images. In our method, a spherical mirror is placed in front of a camera and reflected feature points are tracked even if the tracking feature points go out of view due to the camera motion. This paper presents a basic concept of the proposed method and some results of fundamental experiments.
