Automatic 3D reconstruction of quasi-planar stereo Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is widely used in science to characterize the surface roughness of materials. Three-dimensional information can be obtained with SEM based on stereovision techniques. A stereo pair is typically obtained by tilting the sample by a few degrees. In this paper we present a fully automated method for 3D reconstruction from a SEM stereo pair without any particular constraint. Results are presented for corneal stromal surfaces.
