Introduction

Abstract

One of the most important, difficult and computationally intensive problems in the field of artificial intelligence is computer vision. There is no consensus today on the definition and scope of computer vision. The problem of artificial vision is as old as the field of computer science and engineering. Researchers have devoted much time in attempting to define and solve parts of the problems for many years. However, to say that computer vision is in its infancy today is a correct judgment of the state of the art in artificial vision. Furthermore, nobody knows the answer to the question of whether it is possible to make artificial vision as powerful and general as human vision. One of the many reasons for not knowing the answer is that little is understood about human vision itself.
