Description


For several decades researchers have tried to construct perception systems based on the registration data from video cameras. This work has produced various tools that have made possible recent advances in this area. Part one of this book deals with the problem of the calibration and auto-calibration of video captures. Part two is essentially concerned with the estimation of the relative object/capture position when a priori information is introduced (the CAD model of the object). Part three discusses the inference of density information and the shape recognition in images.
