Abstract
This chapter describes what is meant by image understanding. We begin with the imaging geometry of perspective projection, and introduce the camera rotation transformation, which plays a central role in subsequent chapters. Then, we discuss two typical mathematical approaches to the three-dimensional (3D) recovery problem—the 3D Euclidean approach and the two-dimensional (2D) non-Euclidean approach. Finally, the organization of this book is described.
