Abstract

Computer Vision is the estimation of the three dimensional shape and other properties of objects based on their two dimensional (projection) images through the use of computers and cameras. It had its beginning in the early 1960s. At the time, it was thought to be an easy problem with a solution probably possible over a summer. However, the basic problem has proved to be far more difficult. Over the span of the last 50 years, computer vision has matured from a research topic in the early 1960s to a mature field of research and application. Today, computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition are addressing many societal and technological problems.
