Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications

摘要: Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of world with apparent ease. However, despite all recent advances in computer vision research, dream having a interpret an image at same level as two-year old remains elusive. Why is such challenging problem and what current state art? Computer Vision: Algorithms Applications explores variety techniques commonly used to analyze images. It also describes real-world applications where being successfully used, both for specialized medical imaging, fun, consumer-level tasks editing stitching, which students can apply their own personal photos videos. More than just source recipes, this exceptionally authoritative comprehensive textbook/reference takes scientific approach basic problems, formulating physical models imaging process before inverting them produce descriptions scene. These problems are analyzed using statistical solved rigorous engineering Topics features: structured support active curricula project-oriented courses, tips Introduction book customized courses; presents exercises end each chapter heavy emphasis on testing algorithms containing numerous suggestions small mid-term projects; provides additional material more detailed mathematical topics Appendices, cover linear algebra, numerical techniques, Bayesian estimation theory; suggests reading chapter, including latest research sub-field, addition full Bibliography book; supplies supplementary course associated website, http://szeliski.org/Book/. Suitable upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level science engineering, textbook focuses that work under conditions encourages push creative boundaries. Its design exposition make it eminently suitable unique reference fundamental literature vision.
