Spatial Understanding from Images

To really understand images and video, the computer must have some sense of the physical space of the depicted scenes. But how should we represent this physical space, and how can we recover it from imagery? Our focus is on creating simple but widely applicable models of scene geometry that can be recovered from a single image.
