Multimodal Stereo Vision For Reconstruction In The Presence Of Reflection

Scott Sorensen, Philip Saponaro, Stephen Rhein and Chandra Kambhamettu

Abstract

Reflective and specular surfaces are problematic for traditional reconstruction techniques. Light projects non-linearly in scenes with these surfaces, and existing techniques to model this are poorly suited for real world applications. Accurately modeling the reflective surface is difficult without complete knowledge of the scene. To overcome this problem, we propose using different modalities of stereo vision to capture both the reflecting surface and the reflected scene. Using a four camera system consisting of a pair of visible wavelength cameras and a pair of long wave infrared cameras, we accurately reconstruct the reflective surface and ray trace reflected correspondences in the complementary modality. This approach allows for 3D reconstruction in the presence of a reflection, and does not require complete knowledge of the scene.
