description Multiview stereo (MVS) achieves efficient 3D reconstruction on Lambertian surfaces and strongly textured regions. However, the reconstruction of weakly textured regions, especially planar surfaces in weakly textured regions, still faces significant challenges due to the fuzzy matching problem of photometric consistency. In this paper, we propose a multiview stereo for recovering planar surfaces guided by confidence calculations, resulting in the construction of large-scale 3D models for high-resolution image scenes. Specifically, a confidence calculation method is proposed to express the reliability degree of plane hypothesis. It consists of multiview consistency and patch consistency, which characterize global contextual information and local spatial variation, respectively. Based on the confidence of plane hypothesis, the proposed plane supplementation generates new reliable plane hypotheses. The new planes are embedded in the confidence-driven depth estimation. In addition, an adaptive depth fusion approach is proposed to allow regions with insufficient visibility to be effectively fused into the dense point clouds. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed method can lead to a 3D model with competitive completeness and high accuracy compared with state-of-the-art methods.
