Title: Visual motion of curves and surfaces
Description: "In this book the authors describe recent research in computer vision aimed at recovering the three-dimensional shape of surfaces from image sequences of their 'outlines'. They provide all the necessary background in differential geometry (assuming knowledge of elementary algebra and calculus) and in the analysis of visual motion, emphasizing intuitive visual understanding of the geometric techniques with computer-generated illustrations. They also give a thorough introduction to the mathematical techniques and the details of the implementations, and apply the methods to data from real images using the most current techniques."--Jacket.
