The use of optical 3D shape measurement devices are rapidly gaining importance, allowing the reconstruction of real 3D objects efficiently. The 3D shape and texture can be obtained from stereo images acquired with a freely moving camera. This approach measures the image displacement from the corresponding feature points in stereo images of the same scene, taken from different views. Although the camera parameters can be estimated from stereo images sequences, the accuracy can be improved using a calibrated camera.
