STEREO RECONSTRUCTION OF ATMOSPHERIC CLOUD SURFACES FROM FISH-EYE CAMERA IMAGES

In this article a method for reconstructing atmospheric cloud surfaces using a stereo camera system is presented. The proposed camera system utilizes fish-eye lenses in a flexible wide baseline camera setup. The entire workflow from the camera calibration to the creation of the 3D point set is discu...
