Abstract

As-built reconstruction of existing industrial facilities such as power plants still involves much interactive work even though photogrammetry techniques are greatly used in this process. The majority of existing systems are based on 3D-point reconstruction. In general, these systems only use epipolar geometry to help the user. CyliCon is a software package for 3D reconstruction of industrial pipelines. This software enables its users to work with hundreds of images. It uses geometric features, such as occluding edges and vanishing points, and image processing methods, such as multi-resolution edge refinement, in order to provide semiautomatic user-friendly software. The software has been successfully tested on hundreds of indoor and outdoor industrial images
