History of Computer vision

Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 1c1

Subfield of Artificial intelligence where the idea is to get a computer to "understand" a scene. Frequent goals include:

Changed: 3,5c3,5

* Finding specific objects in the scene
* Identifying faces
* Mapping a scene to a three-dimensional model of the scene, so that (e.g.) a robot could navigate within the scene

* Detect, segment, locate and recognize certain objects in images, like (e.g.) human faces
* Tracking an object through an image sequence
* Mapping a scene to a three-dimensional model of the scene, so that (e.g.) a robot could navigate within the scene

Changed: 10c10

Interestingly, biological vision (cats have been extensively studied) seems to have lots of "hardware" assist, that is, special "circuitry" to find lines, etc. However, most computer vision has been done strictly with software.
