Acquisition of 3D model of real objects and scenes is indispensable and useful in many practical applications, such as digital archives, game and entertainment industries, engineering, advertisement. There are 2 main methods for 3D acquisition : laser-based reconstruction (active method) and image-based reconstruction from multiple images of the scene in different points of view (passive method). While laser-based reconstruction achieves high accuracy, it is complex, expensive and difficult to set up for large-scale outdoor reconstruction. Image-based, or multi-view stereo methods are more versatile, easier, faster and cheaper. By the time we begin this thesis, most multi-view methods could handle only low resolution images under controlled environment. This thesis targets multi-view stereo both both in large scale and high accuracy issues. We significantly improve some previous methods and combine them into a remarkably effective multi-view pipeline with GPU acceleration. From high-resolution images, we produce highly complete and accurate meshes that achieve best scores in many international recognized benchmarks. Aiming even larger scale, on one hand, we develop Divide and Conquer approaches in order to reconstruct many small parts of a big scene. On the other hand, to combine separate partial results, we create a new merging method, which can merge automatically and quickly hundreds of meshes. With all these components, we are successful to reconstruct highly accurate water-tight meshes for cities and historical monuments from large collections of high-resolution images (around 1600 images of 5 M Pixel images)
