Abstract
A method reconstructs a scene as a three-dimensional (3D) model by first acquiring a sequence of images of the scene with a camera. Then, feature point matches or line matches are extracted from the sequence of images, variables for camera optical centers and 3D points are initialized using random values, and n copies of the variables are made depending on an availability of n constraints. The n copies are projected to satisfy each of the n constraints. Then, the n copies are replaced with averages of the copies and the projecting and the replacing are repeated until convergence to provide the 3D model.
