Multidimensional correlation lattices as an aid to three-dimensional pattern reconstruction

Abstract

Spatial reconstruction of a three-dimensional object from a set of stereo photographs must begin with the matching of the topological characteristics in one view with those in the other views. A human is usually good at this form of pattern recognition, but he is too slow for some applications. For high-speed processing of bubble chamber photographs it has been necessary to design a computer code that will match the images seen in the various views.
