After the completion of the course the student is expected to

  • describe the research area of image-based 3D visualization and commercial systems for this,
  • give an account for the mathematical and geometric foundations used in image-based 3D reconstruction and visualization,
  • apply known methods for mathematical and numerical treatment of problems of geometric nature,
  • implement methods for automatic extraction of geometric information from images,
  • describe how a system for automatic creation of 3D models from known images might look like,
  • describe the most common methods for image-based rendering.
