Abstract
A novel stereo reconstruction pipeline that features depth map alignment and outlier identification is provided. One example method includes obtaining a plurality of images depicting a scene. The method includes determining a pose for each of the plurality of images. The method includes determining a depth map for each of the plurality of images such that a plurality of depth maps are determined. Each of the plurality of depth maps describes a plurality of points in three-dimensional space that correspond to objects in the scene. The method includes aligning the plurality of depth maps by transforming one or more of the plurality of depth maps so as to improve an alignment between the plurality of depth maps. The method includes identifying one or more outlying points. The method includes generating a three-dimensional model of the scene based at least in part on the plurality of depth maps.
