Principles of 3D Image Analysis and Synthesis

by Bernd Girod (Editor), Günther Greiner (Editor), Heinrich Niemann (Editor)

Overview

Traditionally, say 15 years ago, three-dimensional image analysis (aka computer vi­ sion) and three-dimensional image synthesis (aka computer graphics) were separate fields. Rarely were expert

Editorial Reviews

Reports on the state of the art in combining computer vision and computer graphics. First discusses image acquisition, then proceeds to analysis, recognition, and interpretation of images, representation of scenes by 3D geometry, and rendering and visualization techniques. Coverage includes range cameras, multiview image processing, object recognition, knowledge-based image analysis, and geometric modeling with meshes and splines. Also covered are texturing techniques, global illumination, image-based rendering, and flow visualization techniques. Girod works at the Information Systems Laboratory at Stanford University.
