Features: This book examines the brand-new subject of computer vision from a unique modern perspective. It provides a wealth of detailed information and data from relevant industries in the field of computer vision, enabling readers to gain a comprehensive and strategic overview of the topic. Readers working in computer graphics, robotics, or image processing will find this book highly helpful. As the application of computer vision becomes increasingly mature, learning and mastering its fundamental principles and computational methods are essential for professionals in computational geometry, computer graphics, image processing, robotics, and related fields. Since computer vision integrates knowledge from multiple disciplines, such as digital image processing, digital signal processing, optics, physics, geometry, applied mathematics, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence, writing a suitable textbook is quite challenging. The authors of this book strive to make it both systematic and well-organized, with chapters that are relatively independent, allowing students to read through it comprehensively or select specific sections as needed. The book not only clarifies fundamental principles but also closely connects them to practical applications, enabling students to grasp the basics while linking them to real-world applications. It includes both classic theories and recent innovative achievements, helping students understand the history of computer vision while focusing on the latest research findings that have been proven effective through practice. The necessary mathematical knowledge is integrated into relevant chapters, making the content accessible and easy to understand. The authors have designed several different teaching plans for students with varying needs. The online abridged version of this book has been used in several schools in the United States and has received positive feedback. This is one of the more successful computer vision textbooks in recent years and is also suitable for self-study by professionals interested in the field.
