This contribution describes an automatic 3D surface modeling system that extracts dense metric 3D surfaces from an uncalibrated video sequence. A static 3D scene is observed from multiple viewpoints by freely moving a video camera around the object. No restrictions on camera movement and internal camera parameters like zoom are imposed, as the camera pose and intrinsic parameters are calibrated from the sequence.

Self-calibration and metric reconstruction in spite of varying and unknown internal camera parameters

A self-calibration method is presented which efficiently deals with all kinds of constraints on the internal camera parameters and a practical method is proposed which can retrieve metric reconstruction from image sequences obtained with uncalibrated zooming/focusing cameras.

What can be seen in three dimensions with an uncalibrated stereo rig

This paper addresses the problem of determining the kind of three- dimensional reconstructions that can be obtained from a binocular stereo rig for which no three-dimensional metric calibration data is available, and shows that even in this case some very rich non-metric reconstructions of the environment can nonetheless be obtained.
