Handbook of 3D Machine Vision: Optical Metrology and Imaging

by Song Zhang (Editor)

Overview

Choosing from the numerous 3D vision methods available can be frustrating for scientists and engineers, especially without a comprehensive resource to consult. Filling this gap, this handbook gives an in-depth look at the most popular 3D imaging techniques. Written by key players in the field and inventors of important imaging technologies, it helps you understand the core of 3D imaging technology and choose the proper 3D imaging technique for your needs. For each technique, the book provides its mathematical foundations, summarizes its successful applications, and discusses its limitations.

Editorial Reviews

"The chapters are well written and offer a uniform high standard of content. … This book should appeal to any academic or industrial researcher, or developer looking to expand their skills into machine vision: it would be particularly useful to any young researcher just starting out. The expert in the field should also find something of interest. The concepts outlined have wider applicability and this is a good place to start for anyone looking for an overview of these technologies."
