Abstract
Visibility estimation is one of the most difficult problems in multi-view reconstruction using volumetric approaches. In this paper, we present a novel approach called layer-constraint-based visibility (LCBV) to estimating visibility. Based on the layered state of a scene and photo-consistency constraint, this method can determine the more accurate visibility for every point in a scene. We use LCBV in multi-view reconstruction using volumetric graph cuts and obtain satisfactory results on both synthetic and real datasets. We also discuss quantitative error analysis to judge visibility techniques.
