introductory techniques for 3-D computer vision

part 2 From the Back Cover 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.
