Motion and Structure from Image Sequences [Paperback]

Motion and Structure from Image Sequences is invaluablereading for researchers, graduate students, and practicingengineers dealing with computer vision. It presents abalanced treatment of the theoretical and practical issues,including very recent results - some of which are publishedhere for the first time.The topics covered in detail are:- image matching and optical flow computation- structure from stereo- structure from motion- motion estimation- integration of multiple views- motion modeling and predictionAspects such as uniqueness of the solution, degeneracyconditions, error analysis, stability, optimality, androbustness are also investigated. These details togetherwith the fact that the algorithms are accessible withoutnecessarily studying the rest of the material, make thisbook particularly attractive to practitioners.Motion and Structure from Image Sequences is invaluablereading for researchers, graduate students, and practicingengineers dealing with computer vision.
