There are many existing methods for capturing three dimensional data from two dimensional images. Methods based on images captured from multiple view-points require solving the correspondence problem: establishing which points in each image represent the same points in the scene. Most attempts at solving the correspondence problem require carefully controlled lighting and reference points within the scene.
A new method captures many consecutive images to form a dense spatiotemporal volume as the camera-or scene-undergoes controlled motion. Feature points in the scene move along predictable paths within this volume. Analysing the exact motion of features determines their three dimensional position in the scene.
