Abstract:
Stereo vision systems mounted on mobile platforms such as a road vehicles facilitate quick and inexpensive 3D reconstructions. However, reconstructed point clouds are noisy and appear unappealing in visualizations if not using shape priors or other specific ways of improvement. This paper describes a generic method to enhance the appearance of reconstructed meshes using bilateral filtering to smooth point clouds while preserving edge features and other small details. We demonstrate on synthetic and measured data that the proposed filtering process is beneficial for visualizations of noisy 3D data, and also for the preservation of the basic geometry of a real-world scene.
