Abstract
This paper is dedicated to modifying some steps needed to generate a dense 3D-reconstruction from a video stream. Since critical motions are common in the majority of practical situations, care was taken in our work to deal with some of these motions and “stitch” projective reconstructions from different coordinate systems. Moreover, the demand for real-time-near results in these applications is huge, so the system must be able to carry out a high-quality reconstruction in the shortest time. Finally, a new calibration algorithm will be presented and a hint will be given how a fast dense reconstruction can be obtained.
