Description of Curved 3-D Objects from Single Intensity Images

Abstract

This contract developed the theoretical basis for recovering shapes of curved 3D objects in aerial images. This class of objects included building shapes, cooling towers, oil tanks, domes, pyramids smokestacks as well as conventional rectilinear buildings with flat roofs. Observation of shadows and human movement within images was exploited to infer existence of solid surfaces and their size.
