Automated view integration techniques for numerous 3D clouds of points

Abstract

This paper presents techniques used for integrating numerous 3D directional measurements obtained during digitization of various classes of works of art, with dimensions up to 2000mm x 500mm x 500mm. Most of those measurements are of very high resolution (up to 10000 points per mm 2) and small volume (50 mm x 50 mm x 20 mm). In this paper, a hybrid method used for integrating those measurements into complete model is described. It is based on geometrical, color and texture features of digitized surface. Global relaxation, performed as a final stage, ensures uniform distribution of fitting errors between measurements within the whole model. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
