On Structure-From-Motion Application Challenges: Good Practices

2. Overcoming Sfm/Mvs Challenges

Numerous software solutions that implement the Structure-from-Motion/Multi-View Stereo (SfM/MVS) 3D reconstruction approach have been made available during the last decade. It is a fact that the image collection phase, that provides the input data for the SfM/MVS, should be performed under specific and controlled environment conditions. Moreover, the surface properties of the object being captured have to be method-friendly. The latter prerequisite is fulfilled when the object’s surface exploits high-frequency changes in terms of colours or intensities while being non-reflective. In all other cases, it is most probable that the application of the SfM/MVS will produce 3D models that reflect errors in terms of geometric accuracy (noisy surfaces).
