Multi View Stereo A Tutorial Color

Multi-View Stereo: A Tutorial presents a hands-on view of the field of multi-view stereo with a focus on practical algorithms. It frames the multiview stereo problem as an image/geometry consistency optimization problem. It describes in detail its main two ingredients: robust implementations of photometric consistency measures, and efficient optimization algorithms. It then presents how these main ingredients are used by some of the most successful algorithms, applied into real applications, and deployed as products in the industry.
