The advent of affordable consumer grade RGB‐D cameras has brought about a profound
advancement of visual scene reconstruction methods. Both computer graphics and …

The present article is an introductory paper in this special issue on synthetic aperture radar
(SAR). A short review is presented on the recent trend and development of SAR and related …

With medical endoscopic equipment development, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has
gradually become an essential technical means in daily medical practice. In recent years …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

Computer and Machine Vision: Theory, Algorithms, Practicalities (previously entitled
Machine Vision) clearly and systematically presents the basic methodology of computer and …

In this paper, we formulate the stereo matching problem as a Markov network and solve it
using Bayesian belief propagation. The stereo Markov network consists of three coupled …

An approach for enforcing integrability, a particular implementation of the approach, an
example of its application to extending an existing shape-from-shading algorithm, and …

When an unknown object with Lambertian reflectance is viewed orthographically, there is an
implicit ambiguity in determining its 3-d structure: we show that the object's visible surface f …

Describing non-parametric and parametric theoretic classification and the training of
discriminant functions, this second edition includes new and expanded sections on neural …

The method described here for recovering the shape of a surface from a shaded image can
deal with complex, wrinkled surfaces. Integrability can be enforced easily because both …
