Abstract
We present a brief introduction to the five articles that make up this special issue: Shock Graphs and Shape Matching, The Bas-Relief Ambiguity, Incremental Focus of Attention for Robust Vision Based Tracking, What Tasks can be Performed with an Uncalibrated Stereo Vision System, and Volumetric Deformation Analysis Using Mechanics-Based Data Fusion: Application in Cardiac Motion Recovery. Tjis introduction and accompanying articles provide a by no means exhaustive, but hopefully representative sampling of the computational vision at Yale University.
