For several decades researchers have tried to construct perception
systems based on the registration data from video cameras. This work has
produced various tools that have made recent advances possible in this
area.
Part 1 of this book deals with the problem of the calibration and
auto-calibration of video captures. Part 2 is essentially concerned with
the estimation of the relative object/capture position when a priori
information is introduced (the CAD model of the object). Finally, Part 3
discusses the inference of density information and the shape recognition
in images.
