Description
Motion and Structure from Image Sequences is invaluable
reading for researchers, graduate students, and practicing
engineers dealing with computer vision. It presents a
balanced treatment of the theoretical and practical issues,
including very recent results - some of which are published
here 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 prediction
Aspects such as uniqueness of the solution, degeneracy
conditions, error analysis, stability, optimality, and
robustness are also investigated. These details together
with the fact that the algorithms are accessible without
necessarily studying the rest of the material, make this
book particularly attractive to practitioners.
