DD2429 Computational Photography 6.0 credits

Course contents

• Overview of problems and methods in geometric computing such as image based visualization and automatic shape recognition.
• Basic algebra and geometry of imaging systems.
• Geometric basis of texture mapping.
• Mathematics and geometry of multiple views.
• Calibration and 3D reconstruction from multiple views.
• Methods for analysis of geometric shape.
• Robust statistics and matching problems.
• Methods for image-based rendering.

Intended learning outcomes

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.
