ABSTRACT

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.
