A marriage of mathematics and computer vision - computational vision - has resulted in an innovative approach to image processing that is reliable across an expanding range of practical tasks. This volume provides a detailed discourse on the mathematical models used in computational vision, from leading educators and active research experts in this field. Topics include: image reconstruction, segmentation and object extraction, shape modeling and registration, motion analysis and tracking, and 3D from images, geometry and reconstruction. The book also includes a detailed study of applications in medical image analysis.
