From the north woods of Maine to the cactus-filled deserts of Arizona, America's national monuments include vast lands rivaling the national parks in beauty, diversity, and historical heritage. These critically important landscapes, mostly under the Bureau of Land Management supervision, are often under the radar with limited visitor information available yet offer considerable opportunities for solitude and adventure compared to bustling national parks. The Antiquities Act of 1906 gave Presidents the authority to proclaim national monuments as an expedited way to protect areas of natural or cultural significance. Since then, 16 Presidents have used the Antiquities Act to preserve some of Am...

Computer Vision--ECCV '92

This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the Second European Conference on Computer Vision, held in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, May 19-22, 1992. Sixteen long papers, 41 short papers and 48 posters were selected from 308 submissions. The contributions are structured into 14 sections reflecting the major research topics in computer vision currently investigated worldwide. The sections are entitled: features, color, calibration and matching, depth, stereo-motion, tracking, active vision, binocular heads, curved surfaces and objects, reconstruction and shape, recognition, and applications.

The Geometry of Multiple Images

  • Type: Book

  • Published: 2001

  • Publisher: MIT Press

This book formalizes and analyzes the relations between multiple views of a scene from the perspective of various types of geometries. A key feature is that it considers Euclidean and affine geometries as special cases of projective geometry. Over the last forty years, researchers have made great strides in elucidating the laws of image formation, processing, and understanding by animals, humans, and machines. This book describes the state of knowledge in one subarea of vision, the geometric laws that relate different views of a scene. Geometry, one of the oldest branches of mathematics, is the natural language for describing three-dimensional shapes and spatial relations. Projective geometr...

This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the European Workshop on 3D Structure from Multiple Images of Large-Scale Environments, SMILE'98, held in conjunction with ECCV'98 in Freiburg, Germany, in June 1998. The 21 revised full papers presented went through two cycles of reviewing and were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in sections on multiview relations and correspondence search, 3D structure from multiple images, callibration and reconstruction using scene constraints, range integration and augmented reality application.

Mustererkennung 1999

Die DAGM '99 steht unter dem Thema "Interpretation natürlicher Szenen: Von der medizinischen Bildverarbeitung bis zur Fernerkundung". Dieses Motto greift aktuelle Entwicklungen in der Mustererkennung auf, intelligente Datenanalyse für große Datensätze zu betreiben und damit der Wissensgesellschaft neuartige Analysewerkzeuge für natürliche Szenen, aber auch für Data Mining zur Verfügung zu stellen. Im Tagungsband finden sich sowohl neue Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Grundlagenforschung als auch interessante Anwendungen aus allen Bereichen der Mustererkennung wieder, wobei neben der Sprachverarbeitung vor allem Beiträge zu statistischen Verfahren, zur Analyse von Bildfolgen und zur Rekonstruktion der 3D-Geometrie aus Bildern dominieren.

Handbook Of Pattern Recognition And Computer Vision (2nd Edition)

The very significant advances in computer vision and pattern recognition and their applications in the last few years reflect the strong and growing interest in the field as well as the many opportunities and challenges it offers. The second edition of this handbook represents both the latest progress and updated knowledge in this dynamic field. The applications and technological issues are particularly emphasized in this edition to reflect the wide applicability of the field in many practical problems. To keep the book in a single volume, it is not possible to retain all chapters of the first edition. However, the chapters of both editions are well written for permanent reference. This indispensable handbook will continue to serve as an authoritative and comprehensive guide in the field.

The night sky may be the most awe-inspiring spectacle that any of us will ever see. It can, however, be difficult to capture in a photograph, as it requires specialized techniques that are rarely used when shooting images during the day.Renowned photographer Grant Collier sheds light on how to capture these otherworldly images by sharing secrets he has learned over the past 14 years. He explains how to take photos of the Milky Way, northern lights, meteors, eclipses, lightning, and much more.Grant begins by reviewing equipment and supplies that are helpful when photographing at night. He then discusses many software programs, web sites, and mobile apps that will help you plan your shots. Fin...

Visual Motion of Curves and Surfaces

Computer vision aims to detect and reconstruct features of surfaces from the images produced by cameras, in some way mimicking the way in which humans reconstruct features of the world around them by using their eyes. In this book the authors describe research in computer vision aimed at recovering the 3D shape of surfaces from image sequences of their 'outlines'. They provide all the necessary background in differential geometry (assuming knowledge of elementary algebra and calculus) and in the analysis of visual motion, emphasising intuitive visual understanding of the geometric techniques with computer-generated illustrations. They also give a thorough introduction to the mathematical techniques and the details of the implementations and apply the methods to data from real images using the most current techniques.
