Estimation of plant dry matter to management of rangelands fast as well as high accuracy is important for managers. Research aims to compare Plant Dry Matter Productivity (PDMP) values estimated by Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from satellite images BKA, KVA according to different levels of satellite image processing, for AL-Sweeda Badia (Syria), during the April, July o...

This issue discusses methods to extract three-dimensional (3D) models from plain images. In particular, the 3D information is obtained from images for which the camera parameters are unknown. The principles underlying such uncalibrated structure-from-motion methods are outlined. First, a short review of 3D acquisition technologies puts such methods in a wider context and highlights their import...

Textual annotations enhance visualizations and provide additional information such as object names or measures, e.g. volumes or distances. They are essential for surgery planning, in particular for documentation and collaborative discussions. For optimal use, it is crucial that the relation between visualized objects and related annotations is unambiguous and easily perceived. We describe a fra...

Recently, different approaches for uncalibrated stereo have been suggested which permit projective reconstruction from multiple views. These use weak calibration which is represented by the epipolar geometry, and so no knowledge of the intrinsic or extrinsic camera parameters is required. In this paper we consider projective reconstructions from pairs of views, and compare a number of the avail...
