Computer
Vision in VR
Computer vision is, in itself, a useful and interesting topic. It plays a sig-
nificant role in many applications of ar tificial intelligence, automated patten
recognition...afulllistofitsapplicationswouldbetoolongtoconsiderhere.
However, a number of the key algorithms which emerged during the devel-
opment of the science of computer vision have obvious and extremely helpful
roles in the implementation and delivery of practical VR applications. The
full detail and mathematical basis for all the algorithms we will be looking
at in this chapter have been rigorously and exquisitely explored by such no-
table authors as Faugaras [3] and Hartley and Zisserman [7], so if you want
to know more there is no better place to look.
