 Goal of computer vision is to write computer programs that
can interpret images.
 The image data can take many forms, such as a video
sequence, depth images, views from multiple cameras, or
multi-dimensional data from a medical scanner
What we see What a computer sees
 It is many-to-one mapping.

 It is computationally intensive.

 We do not understand the recognition problem.

 Image acquisition

 Pre-processing

 Feature extraction

 Detection/segmentation

 Recognition an interpretation
 Calculus
 Linear Algebra
 Probabilities and Statistics
 Signal processing
 Projective geometry
 Computational geometry
 Optimization Theory
 Control Theory
 Controlling processes
 Navigation
 Detecting events
 Organizing information
 Modeling objects or environments
 Interaction
 Automatic inspection
Identifying characters in images of printed or handwritten
text, usually with a view to encoding the text in a format
more amenable to editing or indexing
(eg. ASCII)
Identifying or verifying a person from a digital
image or a video frame from a video source.
Computing a 3D model of the
scene.

 3D imaging  Image guided surgery
(MRI, CT)
 Simpler and faster processes – fast computers replace
lengthy visual checks
 Reliability – cameras and computers, as opposed to a
human eye, never get tired. The human factor is
eliminated.
 Accuracy – your final products will be, thanks to
computer vision, flawless
 A wide range of use – ranging from banks to medical
care
 Cost reduction – you save time on people and devices,
faulty products are eliminated
 The field of computer vision has vastly
improved since it began in the 1960s.
Computers can now quickly and accurately
recognize thousands of faces, as well as a
growing number of other objects. Although
computer vision currently lacks the subtlety,
versatility, and general capabilities of human
vision, the gap is steadily closing.
