Panoramic Imaging and Laser Range Finders provides a comprehensive overview of techniques for capturing high-accuracy images and range data for visualizingand representing 3D scenes. Divided into three parts, it combines introductory material for a broad audience interested in the technology, with advanced material needed for the further study and understanding of the subject. There are also numerous examples, exercises, and an accompanying website containing high-resolution visual samples and animations, illustrating techniques discussedin the text.
