Visual Motion of Curves and Surfaces

List of contents

1. Introduction; 2. Differential geometry of curves and surfaces; 3. Views of curves and surfaces; 4. Dynamic analysis of apparent contours; 5. Reconstruction of surfaces from a family of views; 6. Recovery of viewer motion from apparent contours; Bibliography; Index.

Summary

This book describes how the 3D shape of surfaces can be recovered from image sequences of 'outlines'. It supplies the necessary background in differential geometry and in the analysis of visual motion. The result is a thorough introduction to the mathematical techniques with details of the implementations for practical applications.
