Abstract(in English) This paper gives a general mathematical framework to the computer vision task of inferring 3-D structures of scenes and objects based on image data and geometric constraints, viewing the problem as model fitting. It can be shown that by modeling the statistical behavior of noise, we can derive a theoretical accuracy bound and a computational scheme that attains that bound. Such a method is truly optimal in the sense that accuracy cannot be improved by any other methods. We illustrate our theory by taking the structure-from-motion problem as an example. Various related topics are also discussed.
