Abstract
Researchers in computer vision have primarily studied the problem of visual reconstruction of environmental structure that is plainly visible. In this thesis, the conventional goals of visual reconstruction are generalized to include both visible and occluded forward facing surfaces. This larger fraction of the environment is termed the anterior surfaces. Because multiple anterior surface neighborhoods project onto a single image neighborhood wherever surfaces overlap, surface neighborhoods and image neighborhoods are not guaranteed to be in one-to-one correspondence, as conventional "shape-from" methods assume. The result is that the topology of threedimensional scene structure can no longer be taken for granted, but must be inferred from evidence...
