AbstractThe goal of this course is to provide students with a good understanding of how 3D object shape and appearance can be estimated from images and videos. The main concepts and techniques will be studied in depth and practical algorithms and approaches will be discussed and explored through the exercises and a course project.
ObjectiveAfter attending this course students should:
1. Understand the concepts that allow recovering 3D shape from images.
2. Have a good overview of the state of the art in 3D photography
3. Be able to critically analyze and asses current research in the area
4. Implement components of a 3D photography system.
ContentThe course will cover the following topics a.o. camera model and calibration, single-view metrology, triangulation, epipolar and multi-view geometry, two-view and multi-view stereo, structured-light, feature tracking and matching, structure-from-motion, shape-from-silhouettes and 3D modeling and applications.
