Images contain information about the spatial properties of the scene they depict. When coupled with suitable assumptions, images can be used to infer thr- dimensional information. For instance, if the scene contains objects made with homogeneous material, such as marble, variations in image intensity can be - sociated with variations in shape, and hence the "shading" in the image can be exploited to infer the "shape" of the scene (shape from shading). Similarly, if the scene contains (statistically) regular structures, variations in image intensity can be used to infer shape (shape from...

This book is intended to give students at the advanced undergraduate or introduc- tory graduate level, and researchers in computer vision, robotics and computer graphics, a self-contained introduction to the geometry of three-dimensional (3- D) vision. This is the study of the reconstruction of 3-D models of objects from a collection of 2-D images. An essential prerequisite for this book is a course in linear algebra at the advanced undergraduate level. Background knowledge in rigid-body motion, estimation and optimization will certainly improve the reader's appreciation of the material but...

In the areas of image processing and computer vision, there is a particular need for software that can, given an unfocused or motion-blurred image, infer the three-dimensional shape of a scene. This book describes the analytical processes that go into designing such software, delineates the options open to programmers, and presents original algorithms. Written for readers with interests in image processing and computer vision and with backgrounds in engineering, science or mathematics, this highly practical text/reference is accessible to advanced students or those with a degree that...
