[5] Zisserman received the Part III of the Mathematical Tripos, and his PhD in theoretical physics from the Sunderland Polytechnic.
Together with Andrew Blake they wrote the book Visual reconstruction published in 1987, which is considered one of the seminal works in the field of computer vision.
According to Fitzgibbon (2008) his "geometry was successful in showing that computer vision could solve problems which humans could not: recovering 3D structure from multiple images required highly trained photogrammetrists and took a considerable amount of time.
However, Andrew's interests turned to a problem where a six-year-old child could easily beat the algorithms of the day: object recognition.
"[7] Zisserman has published several articles,[10] some of the most highly cited works in the field, and has edited a series of books.
