Abstract: This paper leverages occluding contours (aka “internal silhouettes”) to improve the performance of multi-view stereo methods. The contributions are 1) a new technique to identify free-space regions arising from occluding contours, and 2) a new approach for incorporating the resulting free-space constraints into Poisson surface reconstruction. The proposed approach outperforms state of the art MVS techniques for challenging Internet datasets, yielding dramatic quality improvements both around object contours and in surface detail. |

Key Ideas:
(1) Densifying depth maps using occluding contours, and then computing a free space volume |

|
(2) Augmenting the PMVS point set using the dense depth maps |
