ADVANCES IN THEORY AND APPLICATIONS OF STEREO VISION
An image is a two dimensional projection of a three dimensional scene. Hence a degeneration is introduced since no information is retained on the distance of a given point in the space. In order to extract information on the three dimensional contents of a scene from a single image it is necessary to exploit some a priori knowledge either on the features of the scene, i.e. presence/absence of architectural lines, objects sizes, or on the general behaviour of shades, textures, etc.
