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 readers appreciation of the material but is not critical since the first few chapters and the appendices provide a review and summary of basic notions and results on these topics. Our motivation Research monographs and books on geometric approaches to computer vision have been published recently in two batches: The first was in the mid 1990s with books on the geometry of two views  see e. g. Faugeras  1993  Kanatani  1993b  Maybank  1993  Weng et aI.   1993b. The second was more recent with books fo cusing on the geometry of multiple views  see e. g. Hartley and Zisserman  2000 and Faugeras and Luong  2001 as well as a more comprehensive book on computer vision Forsyth and Ponce  2002. We felt that the time was ripe for synthesizing the material in a unified framework so as to provide a self-contained exposition of this subject  which can be used both for pedagogical purposes and by practitioners interested in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789739515957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387008934","price":69.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387008936.jpg?v=1784695702","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-invitation-to-3d-vision-from-images-to-geometric-models-interdisciplinary-applied-mathematics-26-9780387008936","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
