Three-dimensional reconstruction from heterogeneous video devices with camera-in-view information

The reconstruction of 3D scenes from unsynchronized and uncalibrated cameras has been a flourishing research area during the last years. In this work, a 3D modelization of the surrounding environment is enabled with an improvised ad-hoc camera networks of both static and mobile devices. The estimation can be significantly improved whenever one or more cameras (named here camera-in-views) can be localized within the field of view of other devices. Experimental results show that this additional information can improved the accuracy of the system up to 17 %.
