Structured light matching of a set of curves from two cameras

摘要

A method for matching points between two images of a scene acquired by two cameras, the method including: extracting blobs from the reflection in the images and individually labelling the blobs with a unique identifier; selecting a selected epipolar plane and defining a conjugate epipolar line on each of the images; identifying plausible combinations including a light sheet label of the projected pattern and the unique identifier for a plausible blob selected from the blobs in each of the images; calculating a matching error for each of the plausible combinations; repeating the steps of selecting, identifying and calculating for at least some epipolar planes; determining a most probable combination by computing a figure of merit for the plausible combinations; identifying matching points in the frame from the most probable combination.
