Information Science Reference Recent Advances in 3D Imaging, Modeling, and Reconstruction (Advances in Multimedia and Interactive Technologies)

3D image reconstruction is used in many fields, such as medicine, entertainment, and computer science. This highly demanded process comes with many challenges, such as images becoming blurry by atmospheric turbulence, getting snowed with noise, or becoming damaged within foreign regions. It is imperative to remain well-informed with the latest research in this field. Recent Advances in 3D Imaging, Modeling, and Reconstruction is a collection of innovative research on the methods and common techniques of image reconstruction as well as the accuracy of these methods. Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics such as ray casting, holographic techniques, and machine learning, this publication is ideally designed for graphic designers, computer engineers, medical professionals, robotics engineers, city planners, game developers, researchers, academicians, and students.
