Shape from Shading

Understanding how the shape of a three dimensional object may be recovered from shading in a two-dimensional image of the object is one of the most important - and still unresolved - problems in machine vision. Although this important subfield is now in its second decade, this book is the first to provide a comprehensive review of shape from shading. It brings together all of the seminal papers on the subject, shows how recent work relates to more traditional approaches, and provides a comprehensive annotated bibliography. The book's 17 chapters cover: Surface Descriptions from Stereo and Shading. Shape and Source from Shading. The Eikonal Equation: some Results Applicable to Computer Vision. A Method for Enforcing Integrability in Shape from Shading Algorithms. Obtaining Shape from Shading Information. The Variational Approach to Shape from Shading. Calculating the Reflectance Map. Numerical Shape from Shading and Occluding Boundaries. Photometric Invariants Related to Solid Shape. Improved Methods of Estimating Shape from Shading Using the Light Source Coordinate System. A Provably Convergent Algorithm for Shape from Shading. Recovering Three Dimensional Shape from a Single Image of Curved Objects. Perception of Solid Shape from Shading. Local Shading Analysis Pentland. Radarclinometry for the Venus Radar Mapper. Photometric Method for Determining Surface Orientation from Multiple Images. Berthold K. P. Horn is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. He has presided over the field of machine vision for more than a decade and is the author of Robot Vision. Michael Brooks is Reader in Computer Science at The Flinders University of South Australia. Shape from Shading is included in the Artificial Intelligence series, edited by Michael Brady, Daniel Bobrow, and Randall Davis.
Computer Vision

This book explores computer vision, describing the reconstruction of object surfaces and the analysis of distances between camera and objects. Fundamentals and algorithms are presented, including topics such as dynamic stereo analysis, shape from shading, photometric stereo analysis, and structural illumination. New research results in shape reconstruction and depth analysis are also included.
Hybrid Intelligent Systems

This book highlights the recent research on hybrid intelligent systems and their various practical applications. It presents 58 selected papers from the 20th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS 2020) and 20 papers from the 12th World Congress on Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing (NaBIC 2020), which was held online, from December 14 to 16, 2020. A premier conference in the field of artificial intelligence, HIS - NaBIC 2020 brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners whose work involves intelligent systems, network security and their applications in industry. Including contributions by authors from 25 countries, the book offers a valuable reference guide for all researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of science and engineering.
