3D reconstruction of rotational video microscope based on patches

Due to the small field of view and shallow depth of field, the microscope could only capture 2D images of the object. In order to observe the three-dimensional structure of the micro object, a microscopy images reconstruction algorithm based on an improved patch-based multi-view stereo (PMVS) algorithm is proposed. The new algorithm improves PMVS from two aspects: first, increasing the propagation directions, second, on the basis of the expansion, different expansion radius and times are set by the angle between the normal vector of the seed patch and the direction vector of the line passing through the seed patch center and the camera center. Compared with PMVS, the number of 3D points made by the new algorithm is three times as much as PMVS. And the holes in the vertical side are also eliminated.
