Abstract:
A stereophotogrammetry device intended to reduce the 3D surface reconstruction artifacts due to specular reflections when a unique camera body is used. Indeed, specular reflection of the camera flash on shiny objects are creating virtual objects in the scene inducing spikes in reconstruction. The device is constituted of a computing unit (C) enabling 3D reconstruction, a unique camera body (5) equipped with a non-polarized double-optics (OA) and (OB) and two light sources (2A) and (2B) separated by the same distance as the double-optics and aligned with these such that (2A) is aligned with (OA) and (2B) is aligned with (OB) relative to the subject (S). According to geometry considerations, the computing unit (C) is defining the best matching amongst four possible matches relative to the specular spot position.
