\n Our World is 3D: <\/b><\/strong>The world we live is three-dimensional (3D). 3D geometry and time are probably the two most critical parameters of our lives! We perceive information from this world by several senses but it is doubtful that 3D vision is the most critical one. The 3D geometry plus the time<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>in fact depicts the\u00a0whole of our world<\/i><\/em>,\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>while the conventional 2D representation (using images or videos) is just a subset of the whole. To attribute human-like properties in machines we need to develop new 3D vision algorithms suitable for different types of computer systems, that is, 3D computer vision tools.<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Our World is Temporally Dynamic: <\/b><\/strong>Time is an essential parameter of our world. We, the humans, the animated beings and the objects of this world are positioning in the 3D space and moving within it to make our world an \u201cactive\/vivid\u201d environment. Thus, only capturing and digitalizing objects\u2019 3D geometry is not adequate to attain intelligent capabilities to human-made machines and endow them with senses as we, the humans, use to explore, understand and interact with our world. Thus, we need to adopt a time-varying 3D modelling process <\/i><\/em>that enables the reconstruction of the spatial and temporal diversity of the objects yielding\u00a0a 4D (3D geometry plus the time) modelling\/analysis. <\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n As dimension increases the complexity exponentially increases as well. Thus, we need to research on new algorithms and tools that can make 4D computer vision applicable to real-life engineering applications <\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>in which time performance is critical<\/i><\/em>. To reduce the cost, we exploit spatio-temporal dependencies <\/b><\/strong>on the 3D processed data\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>including joint reconstruction, information predictive models and shape repairing algorithms to dramatically reduce the time required for a 4D modelling. In addition, the models should be enriched with semantics <\/b><\/strong>(describing historical, cultural, functional and constructional values of the object) to make them retrievable and searchable. Furthermore, semantics accelerates reconstruction since only the most salient information is taken into account.<\/span><\/p>\n Another important aspect is the exploitation of visual information other than of the visible Red Green Blue (RGB) spectrum.<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0Currently, almost all the research on 3D analysis is for RGB data while other bands, such as thermal or hyper-spectral sensing, are left behind. These bands can provide useful information on object material type or can indicate material defects and decay phenomena.<\/span><\/p>\n 4DBeyond researches on 4D analysis and computer vision for three
