"I do recommend serious consideration of this book for a one-semester advanced graduate course on methods for 3D scene reconstruction, based on the first five chapters. For graduate students pursuing PhDs in the field of computer vision, this is a book they won’t want to miss." (Zhaoqiang Lai, ACM Computing Reviews, Mar 8 2013, Review # CR141001)
