Original Announcement
This workshop will focus on multi-view geometry, the sub-discipline of computer
vision that studies 3D scene reconstructions from images, and has deep
foundations in projective geometry and linear algebra. The field has
recently made successful use of computational algebraic methods such as Groebner
bases.
Multi-view geometry offers a rich collection of unexplored problems in a range
of aspects of algebraic geometry. On the other hand, algebro-geometric tools
have the potential to make fundamental advances in the understanding and
practice of 3D computer vision.
The time is ripe to build a broader bridge between the two areas, driving new
ideas from moduli theory, representation theory, and numerical, real, and
combinatorial algebraic geometry into computer vision, and carrying a host of
new motivating problems and ideas back into the pure algebro-geometric fold.
We call this bridge ''Algebraic Vision'', and this AIM workshop will be a crucial
step in constructing it.
