GEOMETRIC MODELING FOR COMPUTER VISION.
BRUCE G. BAUMGART
ABSTRACT:
This thesis is about a computer vision system based on three
dimensional geometric modeling of the objects being viewed. In
principle, this vision system is a process that can be applied to a
reel of video tape to compute blueprints. Applications of this
system to object recognition, scene analysis and robot vehicle
control are demonstrated.
