Abstract

Digital image processing is a computer-based discipline with a rich theoretical foundation and many subdivisions. One of the most important of these is machine vision; the problem of creating an autonomous visual response for a machine such as a robot. While machine vision covers numerous topics, much of it is concerned with pattern recognition. That is, in techniques for discriminating between various objects in the field of view.
