An Introduction to 3D Computer Vision Techniques and Algorithms

“This text is a valuable reference for practitioners and programmers working in 3D computer vision, image processing and analysis as well as computer visualisation. It would also be of interest to advanced students and researchers in the fields of engineering, computer science, clinical photography, robotics, graphics and mathematics.”  (Zentralblatt MATH, 2012)
