On Exploiting Affine Repetitions for 3D Reconstruction from a Single Image

Symmetry and affine repetitions are common in scenes with man-made structures. In this paper we propose a technique to exploit affine repetitions in a 3D scene for reconstruction and view synthesis from a single image. Assuming three vanishing points in the image, we show how the 3D structure of multiple objects and their affine repetitions may be computed and used for synthesizing new views. The reconstructed objects may also be inserted in other scenes to create augmented images.
