Abstract
Before we can intelligently analyze and manipulate images, we need to establish a vocabulary for describing the geometry of a scene. We also need to understand the image formation process that produced a particular image given a set of lighting conditions, scene geometry, surface properties, and camera optics. In this chapter, we present a simplified model of such an image formation process.
