A review of Structure-from-Motion and Multi-View-Stereo

Abstract

Structure-from-Motion/Multi-View-Stereo, modern photogrammetry that reconstructs a 3D model from many overlapping images, has been used for 3D measurement in various fields, including construction and surveying. This article describes the outline and technical issues of the model reconstruction process by current SfM-MVS, and the research trends that are solving the problems are introduced.
