One of the most challenging and fundamental problems in computer vision is to reconstruct a surface model given a set of uncalibrated 2D images. Well-established Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms often result in a sparse set of 3D surface points, but surface modelling based on sparse 3D points is not easy. In this paper, we present a new method to refine and optimise surface meshes using edge information in the 2D images. We design a meshing – edge point detection – re-meshing scheme that can gradually refine the surface mesh until it best fits the true physical surface of the object being modelled. Our method is tested on real images and satisfactory results are obtained.
