Proceedings, Second International Conference on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling

Contains papers from an October 1999 conference, bringing together researchers from around the world on 3D sensing, 3D modeling, and their applications. Papers are divided into categories of 3D sensing, view planning, view registration, geometric processing, and object, environment, and human shape modeling. Specific subjects include model-based scanning path generation for inspection, an automation system for industrial 3D laser digitizing, robust surface matching for registration, experimental analysis of harmonic shape images, estimating pose through local geometry, progressive multilevel meshes from octree particles, and indoor scene reconstruction from sets of noisy range images. Lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
