Abstract
When we talk about Computer Vision (CV), we imagine a system able to see — to look and to understand— the surrounding world. In terms of human knowledge, understanding is a matter of codifying information and identifying well-established patterns. This assertion —that holds for every sensor-based system, the human one being the most complex— has full sense when applied to vision and each part of the assertion can be clearly identified.
