Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications

Welcome to the Web site ( http://szeliski.org/Book ) for my computer vision textbook, which you can now purchase at a variety of locations, including Springer ( SpringerLink , DOI ), Amazon , and Barnes & Noble . This book is largely based on the computer vision courses that I have co-taught at the University of Washington ( 2008 , 2005 , 2001 ) and Stanford (2003) with Steve Seitz and David Fleet . You are welcome to download the PDF from this Web site for personal use, but not to repost it on any other Web site.
Like many kids, Antonio Torralba began playing around with computers when he was 13 years old. Unlike many of his friends, though, he was not playing video games, but writing his own artificial intelligence (AI) programs. Growing up on the island of Majorca, off the coast of Spain, Torralba spent his teenage years designing simple algorithms to recognize handwritten numbers, or to spot the verb and noun in a sentence. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/profile-torralba-1212.html

http://www.worldscibooks.com/compsci/7311.html At the fascinating frontiers of neurobiology, mathematics and psychophysics, this book addresses the problem of human and computer vision on the basis of cognitive modeling. After recalling the physics of light and its transformation through media and optics, Hérault presents the principles of the primate's visual system in terms of anatomy and functionality.

The Science of Word Recognition

Evidence from the last 20 years of work in cognitive psychology indicate that we use the letters within a word to recognize a word.
OpenCV ( Open Source C omputer V ision) is a library of programming functions for real time computer vision. OpenCV is released under a BSD license , it is free for both academic and commercial use. It has C++, C, Python and soon Java interfaces running on Windows, Linux, Android and Mac.

Universality in the Evolution of Orientation Columns in the Visual Cortex | Science/AAAS

The brain’s visual cortex processes information concerning form, pattern, and motion within functional maps that reflect the layout of neuronal circuits. We analyzed functional maps of orientation preference in the ferret, tree shrew, and galago—three species separated since the basal radiation of placental mammals more than 65 million years ago—and found a common organizing principle.
