Computer Vision by Richard Szeliski

Computer Vision by Richard Szeliski

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. This title explores the variety of techniques commonly used to analyze and interpret images. It also describes challenging real-world applications where vision is being successfully used, both for specialized applications such as medical imaging, and for fun.

From the reviews:

This large work by Szeliski (Microsoft Research), an experienced computer vision researcher and instructor, contains hundreds of glossy color photos that illustrate the variety of techniques used to analyze and interpret images... It is suitable for teaching a senior-level undergraduate course in computer vision or graduate courses covering the more demanding material. Its primary use will be as a general reference to the fundamental techniques and recent research literature for graduate students, faculty/researchers, and professionals. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. (C. Tappert, Choice, Vol. 48 (9), May, 2011)

The aim of this book is to provide a course in computer vision for undergraduate students in computer science or electrical engineering. ... The focus is on algorithms and applications. ...
