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

Optimal 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries for 3D clinical assessment
TL;DR: A curvature constraint is introduced that relates the 2D and 3D Frenet information of the coronary artery centerlines to take into account non-rigid movement of the arteries and also serves as a refinement tool to discard potential outlier points.

Detection, classification, and collaborative tracking of multiple targets using video sensors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an approach to detect and classify multiple targets, and collaboratively track their position and velocity utilizing video cameras, where arbitrarily placed cameras collaboratively perform self-calibration and provide complete battlefield coverage.

Direct retrieval of exterior orientation parameters using a 2D projective transformation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a direct algorithm to retrieve the exterior orientation parameters (EOPs) from the 2D projective transformation, which is based on a direct relationship between the projective transform and the collinearity model using homogenous coordinates.

Path planning for micro-part assembly by using active stereo vision with a rotational mirror
TL;DR: Simulation and experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed algorithm for the assembly of microelectromechanical system parts, which generates a safe path on two image spaces using a fast marching method and follows this path based on a visual tracking method in the image space.

Survey on zoom-lens calibration methods and techniques
TL;DR: This paper surveys zoom-lens calibration approaches, such as pattern-based calibration, self-calibration, and hybrid (or semiautomatic) calibration, and offers a novel classification model for zoom- lense calibration approaches in both single and stereo cameras.
