Correcting 3D scenes estimated from sets of multi-view images using shape-from-contours

This paper proposes enforcing the consistency with segmented contours when modelling scenes with multiple objects from multi-view images. A certain rough initialization of the 3D scene is assumed to be available and in the case of multiple objects inconsistencies are expected. In the proposed shape-from-contours approach images are segmented and back-projections of segmented contours are used for enforcing the consistency of the segmented contours with 3D objects from the scene. We provide a study for the physical requirements for detecting occlusions when reconstructing 3-D scenes with multiple objects.
