8. Stereo processing examples

This chapter showcases examples of processing data sets acquired with specific instruments. For a general introduction, see the tutorial (Section 3).

Structure-from-Motion examples are in Section 9 (for orbital images with no rig), and Section 10 (using a rig and robot images).

9. SfM examples

10. SfM examples with a rig

These examples shows how to solve for camera poses using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and then create textured meshes.

The images are acquired using a rig mounted on a robot on the ISS (Section 10.1, Section 10.2) and with the MSL Curiosity rover (Section 10.3).

Somewhat related examples, but without using a rig or the above workflow, are in Section 9 (the images are acquired in orbit using a satellite and a DEM is produced) and Section 8.5 (a basic and rather old two-image example for the MER rovers). See also Section 8.11.5 for an example using CSM cameras for the MSL rover, without employing SfM.
