Structure from motion obtained from low quality images in indoor environment

Abstract

Structure from motion is the process of extracting 3D structure from images taken through the motion of the camera. The result is dependent on the quality and resolution of the images that are being taken, so it is beneficial to use as high quality images as possible. Sometimes it is not possible to obtain high level of detail in photos because of the environmental, economic or other restrictions. In this paper we analyze structure from motion when using a low resolution camera in indoor environment. The obtained results are compared with the same process when using images of higher resolution and with the 3D structure created from points taken with the Microsoft Kinect sensor.
