Three-Dimensional Mapping from Stereo Images with Geometrical Rectification

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 4069))

Abstract

In this paper we present a method for mapping 3D unknown environments from stereo images. It is based on a dense disparity image obtained by a process of window correlation. To each image in the sequence a geometrical rectification process is applied, which is essential to remove the conical perspective of the images obtained with a photographic camera. This process corrects the errors in coordinates x and y to obtain a better matching for the map information. The mapping method is an application of the geometrical rectification and the 3D reconstruction, whose main purpose is to obtain a realistic appearance of the scene.
