An image is a two-dimensional representation of the three-dimensional world. Recovering the information which is lost in the process of image formation is one of the fundamental problems in Computer Vision. One approach to this problem involves generating and evaluating a succession of surface hypotheses, with the best hypothesis selected as the final estimate. The fitness of each hypothesis can be evaluated by comparing the reference images against synthetic images of the hypothesised surface rendered with the reference cameras. An infinite number of surfaces can recreate any set of reference images, so many approaches to the reconstruction problem recover the largest from this set of surfaces. In contrast, the approach we present here accommodates prior structural information about the scene, thereby reducing ambiguity and finding a reconstruction which reflects the requirements of the user. The user describes structural information by defining a set of primitives and relating them by parameterised transformations. The reconstruction problem then becomes one of estimating the parameter values that transform the primitives such that the hypothesised surface best recreates the reference images. Two appearance-based likelihoods which measure the hypothesised surface against the reference images are described. The first likelihood compares each reference image against an image synthesised from the same viewpoint by rendering a projection of a second image onto the surface. The second likelihood finds the ‘optimal’ surface texture given the hypothesised scene configuration. Not only does this process maximise photo-consistency with respect to all reference images, but it prohibits incorrect reconstructions by allowing the use of prior information about occlusion. The second likelihood is able to reconstruct scenes in cases where the first is biased. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1330993 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Computer Science, 2008
