Computer vision. Three-dimensional data from images

From MaRDI portal





This book is about shape from shading, that is 3D surface reconstruction methods from grey-level or color brightness images. Each chapter describes in a detailed way the mathematical tools, Their use is illustrated by significative examples. The bibliography is exhaustive and in context. Exercises allow to get practical insight in the presented methods. The almost complete lack of color images (a few ones in the appendix) can be annoying for a good book treating of recent developments in color image manipulations. The book is divided in nine chapters: 1. Introduction: is about the prerequisite in numerical image treatment in view of reconstruction, visibility, numerical color encoding, conversion algorithms, contour extraction, base for reconstruction and matchings. 2. Image Acquisition: presents perspective and orthographic projections, usual calibration schemes taking in account radial distortion, principles of color image acquisition and photometric corrections. 3. Geometry of Object Surfaces: is an introduction to the elementary geometry of surfaces. 4. Static Stereo Analysis: presents the epipolar geometry and the stereo matching problem for two or three cameras. 5. Dynamic Stereo Analysis: describes techniques for motion detection reusable in surface reconstruction. 6. Reflection Models: describes the fundamental equations of the reflection models and presents the most popular ones. 7. Shape from Shading: presents the different approaches (direct ones, linear propagation, variational, global and local) for reconstruction from a single brightness image. 8. Photometric Stereo: is an extension of the previous chapter in a multicamera setting. 9. Structured Lighting : this last chapter treats of reconstruction using active captors, observing projection of patterns on the analyzed object. Simple patterns (laser spot or line) as well as complex ones (projection of structured patterns) are investigated.
