Abstract

3D depth computation from stereo data has been one of the most researched topics in computer vision. While state-of-art approaches have flourished over time, reconstruction of transparent materials is still considered an open problem. Based on 3D light field data we propose a method to obtain smooth and consistent double-layer estimates of scenes with transparent materials. Our novel approach robustly combines estimates from models with different layer hypotheses in a cost volume with subsequent minimization of a joint second order TGV energy on two depth layers. Additionally we showcase the results of our approach on objects from common inspection use-cases in an industrial setting and compare our work to related methods.
