Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications

This book also reflect my twenty years’ experience doing computer vision research in corporate research labs, mostly at Digital Equipment Corporation’s Cambridge Research Lab and at Microsoft Research. In pursuing my work, I have mostly focused on problems and solution techniques (algorithms) that have practical real-world applications and that work well in practice. Thus, this book has more emphasis on basic techniques that work under real-world conditions, and less on more esoteric mathematics that has intrinsic elegance but less practical applicability.
