It is well known that the study of computer vision includes acquiring knowledge from images and videos in general. One of its application include deriving 3D information from 2D images.
I would like to know whether the use of 3D imaging from IR cameras be considered in the computer vision field as well. Or is it better suited to be called a Machine Vision application instead?
Dear Sir
Yes, it can be considered as a part of Computer vision. Most of the applications related to Diabetic medical Images (Diabetic Foot Ulcers), Building and roof Inspection(for wet analysis).
Thank you for the reply, Dr. Fahimuddin Shaik.
It would be nice to have a reference to a paper where the word 'computer vision' is uttered along with an application that uses infrared reflectors for a 3D analysis for the movement of objects.
IR and Visible Imaging are both of them full part of Computer Vision field. All topics of Visible Stereo Imaging applies to IR Stereo Imaging (feature point/contour detection, feature tracking, 3D Reconstruction from image sequences and so on...) . Neverthless, some computer vision techniques have to be specifically tuned/adapted to address IR applications.

Thank you very much, Dr. Stéphane Breton. Your answer cleared my doubts.
