Billions of digital images are being collected each year. But current hardware abilities for gathering electronic pictures far exceed conventional software capacities for organizing and searching these data. In this course, we survey recent advances in computer vision which utilize 3D geometry to manipulate 2D imagery. As we'll see, geometry-based approaches to image processing coupled with internet-scale computing imply many neat, new applications.

Each class will begin with a theoretical overview and end with a computer lab. The primary topics for the 4 sessions are multi-view geometry, automatic feature matching, panorama formation and 3D reconstruction. During the computer labs, students will work with open-source and commercial software in order to calibrate cameras, extract SIFT features, form mosaics and generate 3D point clouds from multiple photos.
