Depth Recovery from Defocused: A Real Aperture Imaging Approach

Rating:
Summary: A great book in the computer vision field.
Review: Computer vision is becoming increasingly important in several industrial applications such as automated inspection, robotic manipulations and autonomous vehicle guidance. These tasks are performed in a 3D world and it is imperative to gather reliable information on the 3D structure of the scene. This book is about passive techniques for depth recovery, where the scene is illuminated only by natural light as opposed to active methods where a special lighting device is used for scene illumination. Passive methods have a wider range of applicability and also correspond to the way humans infer 3D structure from visual images.
