Abstract

In the field of methods of three-dimensional measurement of an object by stereo-correlation, methods require at least two cameras connected to image processing means. These methods include at least a first step of calibration of the two image planes and a second step of spatial matching between these two image planes. These two steps can be followed by a third step of temporal matching. The method provided requires objects, the surface of which has a parametric representation, i.e. a mathematical representation of the object surface having the form of a decomposition over a scalar function basis. The parametric representation is implemented during the first calibration step and/or during the second and third steps of spatial or temporal matching.
