This book investigates the fundamental problem of decomposing three-dimensional structure and motion from a sequence of two-dimensional images. It addresses the challenges inherent in inferring spatial arrangements and movements from visual input, a core task in computer vision and robotics. The work is authored by Guanghui Wang, whose expertise is in this specialized field, and it is built upon established principles of mathematical modeling and algorithmic development.

The book is likely to be regarded as a technical and specialized text, suitable for researchers and advanced students in computer vision and related fields. Its focus on factorization methods suggests a deep dive into the mathematical underpinnings of 3D reconstruction from image sequences. The subject matter points to a dense, analytical treatment of the topic, offering detailed algorithms and theoretical discussions.
