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

Real-time dense simultaneous localization and mapping using monocular cameras
TL;DR: A monocular SLAM solution capable of reconstructing dense 3D geometry online without the aid of a graphics processing unit (GPU) is presented, which allows for significant computational savings while simultaneously increasing reconstruction density and quality when compared to the state-of-the-art.

Toward Realistic Single-View 3D Object Reconstruction with Unsupervised Learning from Multiple Images
TL;DR: Wu et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a novel unsupervised algorithm that can learn a 3D reconstruction network from a multi-image dataset, which is more general and covers the symmetry-required scenario as a special case.

Autonomous geometric precision error estimation in low-level computer vision tasks
TL;DR: The theory presented here extends the autonomy of 3-D model reconstructions discovered in the 1990s to their errors, and connects these developments with recent advances in the mathematics of sparse signal reconstruction or compressed sensing.
