CUMULI, PANORAMA, and VANGUARD Project Overview

This overview summarizes the goals of the European projects Cumuli, Panorama, and Vanguard and references the various contributions in this volume. There are several overlaps between the projects which all evolve around the geometric analysis of scenes from multiple images. All projects attempt to reconstruct the geometry and visual appearance of complex 3D scenes that may be static or dynamic.
