Stereoscopic image matching for 3D reconstruction

The research work presented in this book aims at implementing different tools for the detection, description and matching of points of interest. First, we propose a bibliographic analysis of the existing methods of stereoscopic image matching. The latter allows us to deduce the implementation parameters as well as the main advantages and disadvantages. We then detail the proposed method. The detection of the primitives is based on the use of a DAISY descriptor which provides very good results and allows to decrease the time of descriptor computation with a great accuracy in the matching. We validate the proposed method on a laparascopic surgery image base composed of more than one hundred pairs of images.
