Over the past years, 3D reconstruction has proved to be a challenge. With augmented reality and robotics attracting more attention, the demand for efficient 3D reconstruction algorithms has increased. 3D reconstruction presents a problem in computer vision and as a result, much work has been dedicated to solving it. Different design choices were made to consider different components of the process. Examples of these differences are how the scanning process is tackled, how the 3D reconstructed world is represented, among other aspects. Therefore, an evaluation of these algorithms is necessary. This chapter focuses on the properties that facilitate the evaluation of 3D reconstruction algorithms and provides an evaluation of the various algorithms.

Holistic Analysis

Over the past decade, Russia's attempted transition to a market economy has attracted a great deal of scholarly interest. Given the complexities at hand and the rather disappointing outcome, it is natural that debates have been acrimonious at times. Some have argued that we are witnesses to a great success; others, that we are seeing a monumental failure. A book that promises to deal with “building market institutions in Russia” might harbor yet another contribution to such debates, but that is not case. Timothy Frye is careful to note (on p. 12) that his book “does not attempt a holistic analysis of the process of economic and political reform in Russia.”
