Abstract
Computational vision is the study of computational systems that interpret images. That is, it is the study of systems that produce symbolic descriptions of a world from images of that world. A scene domain consists of objects whose visible surfaces are defined in three spatial dimensions. An imaging device projects rays of light onto a plane. The image domain consists of a spatially varying brightness function (image irradiance) defined over a bounded planar region. The problem is to reconstruct a three-dimensional representation of the scene from its two-dimensional projection onto the image plane.
