Accurate Visual Metrology from Single and Multiple Uncalibrated
Images presents novel techniques for constructing three-dimensional
models from bi-dimensional images using virtual reality tools. Antonio
Criminisi develops the mathematical theory of computing world
measurements from single images, and builds up a hierarchy of novel,
flexible techniques to make measurements and reconstruct
three-dimensional scenes from uncalibrated images, paying particular
attention to the accuracy of the reconstruction.
This book includes examples of interesting viable applications (eg.
Forensic Science, History of Art, Virtual Reality, Architectural and
indoor measurements), presented in a simple way, accompanied by
pictures, diagrams and plenty of worked examples to help the reader
understand and implement the algorithms.
