Abstract:

The main contribution of this thesis is the development of a three dimensional geometric modeling system for application to computer vision. In computer vision geometric models provide a goal for descriptive image analysis, an origin for verification image synthesis, and a context for spatial problem solving. Some of the design ideas presented have been implemented in two programs named GEOMED and CRE the programs are demonstrated in situations involving camera motion relative to a static world.
