Overview

In this book the authors describe recent research in computer vision aimed at recovering the three-dimensional shape of surfaces from image sequences of their 'outlines'. They provide all the necessary background in differential geometry (assuming knowledge of elementary algebra and calculus) and in the analysis of visual motion, emphasizing intuitive visual understanding of the geometric techniques with computer-generated illustrations. They also give a thorough introduction to the mathematical techniques and the details of the implementations, and apply the methods to data from real images using the most current techniques.

Synopsis

How to reconstruct 3D surfaces from images, using geometry, with applications to computer vision.

From the Publisher

"The geometry of curves and surfaces is described clearly, with wonderfully apropos figures and carefully consistent notation throughout....the material has a certain beauty to it, which they draw out nicely." Computing Reviews
