This book was conceived during the Workshop "Calibration and Orientation of Cameras in Computer Vision" at the XVIIth Congress of the ISPRS (In ternational Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing), in July 1992 in Washington, D. C. The goal of this workshop was to bring photogrammetry and computer vision experts together in order to exchange ideas, concepts and approaches in camera calibration and orientation. These topics have been addressed in photogrammetry research for a long time, starting in the sec ond half of the 19th century. Over the years standard procedures have been developed and implemented, in particular for metric cameras, such that in the photogrammetric community such issues were considered as solved prob lems. With the increased use of non-metric cameras (in photogrammetry they are revealingly called "amateur" cameras), especially CCD cameras, and the exciting possibilities of acquiring long image sequences quite effortlessly and processing image data automatically, online and even in real-time, the need to take a new and fresh look at various calibration and orientation issues became obvious. Here most activities emerged through the computer vision commu nity, which was somewhat unaware as to what had already been achieved in photogrammetry. On the other hand, photogrammetrists seemed to ignore the new and interesting studies, in particular on the problems of orienta tion, that were being performed by computer vision experts.

1 Introduction.- 2 Minimum Solutions for Orientation.- 3 Generic Estimation Procedures for Orientation with Minimum and Redundant Information.- 4 Photogrammetric Camera Component Calibration: A Review of Analytical Techniques.- 5 Least-Squares Camera Calibration Including Lens Distortion and Automatic Editing of Calibration Points.- 6 Modeling and Calibration of Variable-Parameter Camera Systems.- 7 System Calibration Through Self-Calibration.- 8 Self-Calibration of a Stereo Rig from Unknown Camera Motions and Point Correspondences.

From the reviews:

"All you need to know about camera calibration and orientation for close range work is in this book. ... It certainly is a book for post-graduate students and for those academics supervising them. ... the editors must be congratulated for bringing together at one point in time most ... facets of camera calibration and orientation. The list of references at the end of each chapter will be extremely useful for future researchers and ... this book should adorn the shelves of university libraries." (J. G. Fryer, The Photogrammetric Record, Issue 17, 2002)
