Computational Analysis of Visual Motion / Edition 1

by Amar Mitiche

Overview

Image motion processing is important to machine vision systems because it can lead to the recovery of 3D structure and motion. Author Amar Mitiche offers a comprehensive mathematical treatment of this key subject in visual systems research. Mitiche examines the interpretation of point correspondences as well as the interpretation of straight line correspondences and optical flow. In addition, the author considers interpretation by knowledge-based systems and presents the relevant mathematical basis for 3D interpretation.

Editorial Reviews

Deals with the interpretation of discrete cases of point correspondences and straight line correspondences and with continuous cases of optical flow and motion of straight lines, and considers interpretation by a knowledge-based system. Presents the mathematical basis for 3D interpretation and reviews current methods of computing image motion. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
