Computer vision is a rapidly developing and highly interdisciplinary field of
computer science and engineering in which researchers are attempting to create
vision algorithms that can analyze dynamic images at real-time rates. Real-time
vision is needed for automated systems to keep pace with real-world activities
and thus control or respond appropriately to them. This is the first book
devoted to the subject of real-time computer vision, and it includes articles by
some of the leading researchers in the world. The focus is on algorithms for
interpreting visual input at video rates and on using the gathered information
for decision-making and control. Topics covered include: shape recovery;
model-based vehicle
