MP-MVS: Multi-Scale Windows PatchMatch and Planar Prior Multi-View Stereo
Significant strides have been made in enhancing the accuracy of Multi-View Stereo (MVS)-based 3D reconstruction. However, untextured areas with unstable photometric consistency often remain incompletely reconstructed. In this paper, we propose a resilient and effective multi-view stereo approach (MP-MVS). We design a multi-scale windows PatchMatch (mPM) to obtain reliable depth of untextured areas. In contrast with other multi-scale approaches, which is faster and can be easily extended to PatchMatch-based MVS approaches. Subsequently, we improve the existing checkerboard sampling schemes by limiting our sampling to distant regions, which can effectively improve the efficiency of spatial propagation while mitigating outlier generation. Finally, we introduce and improve planar prior assisted PatchMatch of ACMP. Instead of relying on photometric consistency, we utilize geometric consistency information between multi-views to select reliable triangulated vertices. This strategy can obtain a more accurate planar prior model to rectify photometric consistency measurements. Our approach has been tested on the ETH3D High-res multi-view benchmark with several state-of-the-art approaches. The results demonstrate that our approach can reach the state-of-the-art.
