Definition

View integration consists of integrating several 3D views (images) in a non-redundant model, one that describes each part of the surface of an object or a scene with a single geometric primitive.

Background

The availability of accurate 3D cameras in the early 1980s has opened a new field of investigation in computer vision, namely, the acquisition and processing of 3D images [3]. The development of this field has been spectacular in the last three decades, and the use of 3D sensors, and the images they provide, is now common practice in a wide spectrum of human activities such as assembly, inspection, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), reverse engineering, medicine, and entertainment to name just a few.

In comparison with standard cameras which provide images of the appearance – either black and white or color – of the surface of objects, 3D cameras provide images containing information on the geometry of the surface of these...
