3D indoor reconstruction using depth-map-based scene complexity analysis guided kinectfusion
Abstract:
This thesis presents a novel approach for 3D reconstruction based on KinectFusion. The iterative closest point algorithm (ICP) employed in KinectFusion works well when there are sufficient 3D features in a scene to be reconstructed. Conversely, it is difficult to reconstruct simple scenes with limited 3D features such as planar structures. We propose to use visual odometry (VO), in place of ICP, when only insufficient 3D features are available in a scene. Regardless of whether there are sufficient 3D features or not, VO works well as long as the scene contains sufficient 3D features such as textures and corner points. The proposed method then automatically selects ICP or VO, depending on the complexity of the scene. The complexity of the scene is evaluated with the magnitudes of the discontinuities in surface normal vectors in depth maps. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the methods based on either ICP or VO alone
