Feature-based 3D reconstruction of fabric by binocular stereo-vision

Generally, image-based evaluation on the performance of textile appearance such as smoothness and pilling was interfered by fabric pattern, color, and illumination. In this paper, a new method was used to reconstruct a 3D surface of fabric based on image's features which could eliminate the influence of surface texture. Concretely, two parallel-placed digital cameras were calibrated based on planar pattern and the captured binocular images were rectified through epipolar line. The feature points
