Some Applications of Algebraic Curves to Computational Vision

We introduce a new formalism and a number of new results in the context of geometric computational vision. The classical scope of the research in geometric computer vision is essentially limited to static configurations of points and lines in ℙ3. By using some well known material from algebraic geometry, we open new branches to computational vision.
