Abstract
A three-dimensional reconstruction method of generating a three-dimensional model including a three-dimensional point cloud using images obtained by image capturing devices that capture a common three-dimensional space includes acquiring the images captured at corresponding timings and generating three-dimensional points based on the acquired images. The generating includes generating one or more first three-dimensional points based on a result of a first matching performed on points in two or more first images obtained by two or more first image capturing devices, of the image capturing devices, having fields of view with higher similarity than a predetermined threshold, and generating one or more second three-dimensional points based on a result of a second matching performed on points in two or more second images obtained by two or more second image capturing devices, included in the image capturing devices, having fields of view with lower similarity than the predetermined threshold.
