3D reconstruction from single texture image based on patch matching and optimization

Abstract

Most current three-dimensional reconstruction methods often require at least two or more input images to reconstruct the shape of the object. Traditionally, it is hard to reconstruct the 3D shape only from one single input image. In this paper, we propose an effective method to reconstruct the 3D texture surface from a single input image for the texture with similar appearances and reflectance properties. Exactly, the patch matching and optimization methods have been combined to resolve the under-constrained problem of 3D reconstruction from one single image. Experimental results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method in 3D reconstruction according to realistic perception.
