DAF acknowledges a wide range of intellectual debts, starting at kindergarten.
Important figures in the very long list of his creditors include Gerald Alanthwaite,
Mike Brady, Tom Fair, Margaret Fleck, Jitendra Malik, Joe Mundy, Mike Rodd,
Charlie Rothwell, and Andrew Zisserman. JP cannot even remember kindergarten,
but acknowledges his debts to Olivier Faugeras, Mike Brady, and Tom Binford. He
also wishes to thank Sharon Collins for her help. Without her, this book, like most
of his work, probably would have never been finished. Both authors would also like
to acknowledge the profound influence of Jan Koenderink’s writings on their work
at large and on this book in particular.
