Preface

This book is primarily a graduate text on 3D imaging, shape analysis, and associated applications. In addition to serving masters-level and doctoral-level research students, much of the text is accessible enough to be useful to final-year undergraduate project students. Also, we hope that it will serve wider audiences, for example, as a reference text for professional academics, people working in commercial research and development labs, and industrial practitioners. We believe that this text is unique in the literature on 3D imaging in several respects: (1) it provides a wide coverage of topics in 3D imaging; (2) it pays special attention to the clear presentation of well-established core techniques; (3) it covers a wide range of the most promising recent techniques that are considered to be state-of-the-art.
