Photogrammetric Computer Vision Geometry, Orientation and Reconstruction by Wolfgang Förstner

This book is about concepts and methods for developing software for automatically analyzing images, with a focus on main application areas, mapping and image-based metrology. The first part of the book introduces the related statistics and estimation theory required, including probability theory, testing and estimation. The second part of the book explains all aspects of the related geometry, with chapters on homogeneous representations of points, lines and planes; transformations; geometric operations; rotations; oriented projective geometry; and reasoning with uncertain geometric entities. The third part of the book explains orientation and reconstruction. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, practitioners, and researchers in computer vision.
