Computer Vision: Fundamentals and Applications
About this audiobook
What Is Computer Vision
Tasks associated with computer vision include methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing, and comprehending digital images, as well as the extraction of high-dimensional data from the physical environment in order to produce numerical or symbolic information, such as judgments. In the context of this discussion, understanding refers to the process of converting mental representations into descriptions of the external world that are coherent to one's cognitive processes and are able to evoke the right response. This picture comprehension can be understood as the untangling of symbolic information from visual data through the utilization of models that were developed with the assistance of geometry, physics, statistical analysis, and learning theory.
