Abstract:
In this paper, we propose an innovative 3D reconstruction approach based on stereo vision that combines inverse triangulation with a spatiotemporal correlation algorithm. The inverse triangulation technique enables the correspondence search to be performed systematically in the object space, using a structured 3D grid centered on each point of interest (X, Y, Z). These 3D points are projected onto the image planes, and subpixel-interpolated intensities are extracted from a sequence of temporal images to compute the correlation values. For each (X, Y) tuple, the Z value is determined by the correlation peak. The images capture a pseudo-random laser pattern that changes over time. The proposed approach is intended for future applications in the underwater inspection of offshore structures in the oil and gas industry.
