TL;DR
A web-based 3D reconstruction service, developed to relieve those needs of the cultural heritage field, consisting of a pipeline that starts with the user uploading images of an object or scene(s) he wants to reconstruct in 3D.
Abstract
The use of 3D information in the field of cultural heritage is increasing year by year. From this field comes a large demand for cheaper and more flexible ways of 3D reconstruction. This paper describes a web-based 3D reconstruction service, developed to relieve those needs of the cultural heritage field. This service consists of a pipeline that starts with the user uploading images of an object or scene(s) he wants to reconstruct in 3D. The automatic reconstruction process, running on a server connected to a cluster of computers, computes the camera calibration, as well as dense depth (or range-) maps for the images. This result can be downloaded from an ftp server and visualized with a specific tool running on the user's PC.

A complete system to build visual models from camera images is presented and a combined approach with view-dependent geometry and texture is presented, as an application fusion of real and virtual scenes is also shown.
Autocalibration and the absolute quadric
436 Citations2002Bill Triggs
The author describes a new method for camera autocalibration and scaled Euclidean structure and motion, from three or more views taken by a moving camera with fixed but unknown intrinsic parameters, based on a general constrained optimization technique-sequential quadratic programming-that may well be useful in other vision problems.

134 Citations2005Hailin Jin, Stefano Soatto +1 more
This work addresses the problem of estimating the three-dimensional shape and complex appearance of a scene from a calibrated set of views under fixed illumination by focusing on a rank condition that must be satisfied when the scene exhibits “specular + diffuse” reflectance characteristics.
Wide-baseline stereo from multiple views: a probabilistic account
131 Citations2004Christoph Strecha, Rik Fransens +1 more
An EM-algorithm is described, which iterates between estimating values for all hidden quantities, and optimizing the current depth estimates, and which can generate realistic view interpolations and how it merges the information of all images into a new, synthetic view.
An assessment of information criteria for motion model selection
111 Citations2002Philip H. S. Torr
Several model selection methods are compared with a particular emphasis on providing a method that will workfully automatically on real imagery and which will fit to the data without affecting structure, matching or segmentation.

In this paper, a new hierarchical stereo algorithm that matches individual pixels in corresponding scanlines by minimizing a cost function is presented and it is shown that this complexity is independent of the disparityrange.
