A 3D image mosaicing system using the factorization method

Recovering the 3D structure of a dynamic scene from an image sequence is one of the most exciting and extensively studied issues in computer vision. The authors present a shape recovery system based on the factorization method which is able to determine the 3D shape of selected feature points. The algorithm is able to maintain shape representation in a recursive way, even when parts of the objects are occluded or leave the field of view.
