Abstract

This paper addresses different issues of motion analysis with stereovision. The stereo system can be either strongly calibrated in the classical sense, or weakly calibrated in the sense that only the epipolar geometry is known, or even not calibrated at all so we must seek for information only from the surrounding environment by moving the cameras in it (self-calibration).
