Computer Vision: Three-Dimensional Data from Images 1998th Edition

I have used this book for preparing some of my lectures on computer vision. In particular in areas such as stereo and shape-from-shading, it belonged to the textbooks that were most useful for me: The explanations are supplemented with many illustrations, the descriptions are easy to understand for students, and eventually the methods are represented by concise algorithms enabling straightforward implementations. While this book is not intended to cover all areas in computer vision, it may serve as a very useful introduction to those fields where its authors are experts: stereo reconstruction and shape-from-shading. In my opinion, computer vision has not yet matured to a scientific field where it is possible to write five stars textbooks, but this book certainly deserves four stars.

This book gives in a simple and explicit way all of the fine details one needs in order to implement 3D reconstruction methods.I have been teaching computer vision for a while, and whenever a new student needs to learn about the bits and bytes of a specific algorithm I refer her/him to this book.It is a great book for beginners and those that set up their own systems.
