Abstract

In this survey article, we present interactions between algebraic geometry and computer vision, which have recently come under the header of algebraic vision. The subject has given new insights in multiple view geometry and its application to 3D scene reconstruction and carried a host of novel problems and ideas back into algebraic geometry.
