Over the last forty years, researchers have made great strides in elucidating the laws of image formation, processing, and understanding by animals, humans, and machines. This book describes the state of knowledge in one subarea of vision, the geometric laws that relate different views of a scene. Geometry, one of the oldest branches of mathematics, is the natural language for describing three-dimensional shapes and spatial relations. Projective geometry, the geometry that best models image formation, provides a unified framework for thinking about many geometric problems relevant to vision. The book formalizes and analyzes the relations between multiple views of a scene from the perspective of various types of geometries. A key feature is that it considers Euclidean and affine geometries as special cases of projective geometry.
Images play a prominent role in computer communications. Producers and users of images, in particular three-dimensional images, require a framework for stating and solving problems. The book offers a number of conceptual tools and theoretical results useful for the design of machine vision algorithms. It also illustrates these tools and results with many examples of real applications.read more

Automatic low baseline stereo in urban areas
TL;DR: An extension of the classical "quantized" Gestalt theory to continuous measurements is proposed, thus combining its reliability with the precision of variational robust estimation and fine interpolation methods that are necessary in the low baseline case.

Robust structure and motion from outlines of smooth curved surfaces
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of estimating the motion of a camera as it observes the outline (or apparent contour) of a solid bounded by a smooth surface in successive image frames by enforcing the redundancy of multiview epipolar geometry.

Robust video stabilization based on motion intention for low-cost micro aerial vehicles
TL;DR: A proposal is introduced for robust video stabilization, in particular for on-board cameras in micro aerial vehicles, based on a combination of the RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus) algorithm and gray level differences as cost function for local motion parameter estimation, as well as a low-pass filter for global motion smoothing.

Omnidirectional video
TL;DR: This paper addresses the case of a parabolic catadioptric camera and introduces a new representation, called the circle space, for points and lines in such images, and proves that the intrinsic parameters can be inferred in closed form from the two-dimensional subspace of the new fundamental matrix.

Uncalibrated visual servoing using the fundamental matrix
TL;DR: This paper describes a new algorithm for visual control of an uncalibrated 3 DOF joint system, using two weakly calibrated fixed cameras, and estimates on-line the Image Jacobian, a matrix which linearly relates joint velocity and image feature velocity.
