A STATISTICAL CONSISTENCY CHECK FOR THE SPACE CARVING ALGORITHM.

A. Broadhurst and R. Cipolla

Sept 2000

This paper investigates the use of the Space Carving algorithm with outdoor image sequences, using a lambertian lighting model. A new consistency function is proposed that uses a statistical comparison instead of the voxel centroid sampling that was initially proposed. This is important when there is more detail in the images than can be stored in a voxel representation. The new function is evaluated using synthetic data and real image sequences.

If you have difficulty viewing files that end '.gz', which are gzip compressed, then you may be able to find tools to uncompress them at the gzip web site.

If you have difficulty viewing files that are in PostScript, (ending '.ps' or '.ps.gz'), then you may be able to find tools to view them at the gsview web site.

We have attempted to provide automatically generated PDF copies of documents for which only PostScript versions have previously been available. These are clearly marked in the database - due to the nature of the automatic conversion process, they are likely to be badly aliased when viewed at default resolution on screen by acroread.
