For several decades researchers have tried to construct perceptionsystems based on the registration data from video cameras. Thiswork has produced various tools that have made recent advancespossible in this area.
Part 1 of this book deals with the problem of the calibrationand auto-calibration of video captures. Part 2 is essentiallyconcerned with the estimation of the relative object/captureposition when a priori information is introduced (the CAD model ofthe object). Finally, Part 3 discusses the inference of densityinformation and the shape recognition in images.
