Features: For a long time, scientists and science fiction writers have dreamed of humans being able to create intelligent machines, and the first requirement for such intelligent machines is the ability to understand visual information. This book provides a detailed discussion on the automatic extraction of important information from images and the theories and technologies involved, bringing together key research content that utilizes computer vision technology to solve problems. With the new developments in computer technology, computer imaging has become an economical and flexible technical tool and has permeated various industries. Image computing is no longer confined to the field of scientific research but has even become a hobby for people. This book is suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate students and researchers in computer-related fields at universities and can also be referenced by relevant technical personnel. The English edition of this book has been adopted as a textbook by universities such as the University of Washington in the United States.
Features of the Book:
● In addition to traditional content, it includes material on image databases, virtual reality, and augmented reality;
● It introduces two practical systems that utilize computer vision technology;
● The scope of application covers industries, medicine, real estate, multimedia, and computer graphics;
● It contains numerous exercises and programming projects, as well as many compelling images;
● It provides numerous relevant websites, including additional image archives, image processing code, and slides.
This book systematically introduces the fundamental knowledge of computer vision and provides a detailed discussion on the theories related to the automatic extraction of important information from images, including recent research findings. The content is fresh, concise, and focused on solving practical problems. The first 11 chapters discuss 2D scenarios, while chapters 12 to 15 expand from 2D to 3D scenarios. Chapter 16 introduces practical application systems that utilize computer vision technology. The numerous examples and exercises in the book are ( means "" in Chinese, which should be translated as "" or "" in English), application-oriented, and engaging. This book is suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate students and researchers in computer-related fields at universities and can also be referenced by relevant technical personnel.
