Guide to Three Dimensional Structure and Motion Factorization

The book "Guide to Three Dimensional Structure and Motion Factorization" provides a comprehensive introduction to the recovery of structure and motion from image sequences, a central topic in computer vision. Significant advancements have been made in this field over the past two decades, leading to successful applications in various areas such as robot navigation, augmented reality, industrial inspection, medical image analysis, and digital entertainment. While many methods are limited to rigid objects and static scenes, this work also addresses the challenges and solutions related to non-rigid structures that are relevant in dynamic scenarios such as human facial expressions and moving vehicles. The book is aimed at readers without extensive prior knowledge in computer vision, but it offers valuable insights into projective geometry and matrix calculations that are helpful for a better understanding.
