ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a detailed review on relevant approach of 3D reconstruction from two views of single 2D image and it potential applications in pore analysis of electrospun nanofibrous membrane. The review has concisely demonstrated that 3D reconstruction consists of three steps which is equivalent to the estimation of a specific geometry group. These steps include: estimation of the epipolar geometry existing between the stereo image pair, estimation of the affine geometry, and also camera calibration. The advantage of this system is that the 2D images do not need to be calibrated in order to obtain a reconstruction. Results for both the camera calibration and reconstruction are presented to verify that it is possible to obtain a 3D model directly from features in the images. Finally, the applications of 3D reconstruction in pore structure characterization of electrospun nanofibrous membrane are discussed.
