Abstract

Researchers in computer vision aim to make computers to do some of the things which the human visual system can do. Perhaps the major thing is the understanding of three-dimensional (3D) time-varying scenes. There are many applications: Inspection and quality control, monitoring and surveillance, navigation of mobile robots, etc. It is fair to say that computer scene understanding is still in a primitive state; most problems are unsolved. This makes computer vision a very challenging field to work in.
