    By incorporating principles of optical flow and scene flow for camera egomotion tracking, and stereopsis for calculating depth data, it is possible to generate a three-dimensional model of the camera’s surroundings. In this paper we describe our research into combining these two techniques, to generate a digital three-dimensional model of an environment from a video stream in real-time. Reconstructing the three-dimensional shape of a scene from its two-dimensional images is a problem that has attracted a great deal of research. The focus has mainly been on stereopsis, as the underlying geometry is well understood. By taking images from two cameras with a known positional relationship, we match points to determine disparity, and therefore depth. Optical flow is the two-dimensional motion field of point features in a sequence of images. This optical flow can represent the motion of an object within the scene, or the motion of the camera in a static scene. We therefore use optical flow to estimate the egomotion of a camera through a scene in real-time. Stereopsis, optical flow and scene flow were combined in this research to create a three-dimensional map of an unrestricted scene.
