Abstract
Mobile image processing and computer vision applications are coming of age. There are many opportunities for building successful apps that may improve the way we capture, organize, edit, share, annotate, and retrieve images and videos using iOS-based mobile devices, such as iPhone and iPad. This chapter outlines the motivation for this book and provides an overview of relevant iOS apps, usage statistics, and additional insights into the age of mobile visual computing.
