Introductory Techniques for 3-D Computer Vision

An applied introduction to modern computer vision, focusing on a set of computational techniques for 3-D imaging, this book covers a wide range of fundamental problems encountered within computer vision and provides detailed algorithmic and theoretical solutions for each. Each chapter concentrates on a specific problem and solves it by building on previous results.

FEATURES:

• Provides a guide to well-tested theory and algorithms including solutions of problems encountered in modern computer vision.
• Contains many practical hints highlighted in the book.
• Develops two parallel tracks in the presentation, showing how fundamental problems are solved using both intensity and range images, the most popular types of images used today.
• Each chapter contains notes on the literature, review questions, numerical exercises, and projects.
• Provides an Internet list for accessing links to test images, demos, archives and additional learning material.
