Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for scene reconstruction from bursts of image data. In an example, an image capture device may gather information from multiple positions within the scene. At each position, a burst of image data may be captured, such that other images within the burst may be used to identify common image features, anchor points, and geometry, in order to generate a scene reconstruction as observed from the position. Thus, as a result of capturing bursts from multiple positions in a scene, multiple burst reconstructions may be generated. Each burst may be oriented within the scene by identifying a key frame for each burst and using common image features and anchor points among the key frames to determine a camera position for each key frame. The burst reconstructions may then be combined into a unified reconstruction, thereby generating a high-quality reconstruction of the scene.
