As a result, the region emerged safety and security related imaging incorporates new technologies are important beyond the limitations of 2D image processing. Topics covered in this book include 3D imagery associated with biometrics, face recognition, surveillance, safety inspection and robot planning for the analysis of physical security and public safety. This book presents thoroughly revised versions of lectures given by leading researchers during the 'Workshop on Advanced 3D Imaging for Safety and Security' in conjunction with International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition CVPR 2005 on June 25, 2005 in San Diego, USA.
