  1. CMSC 426: Image Processing(Computer Vision)

  2. What is Vision? • What does it mean to see? • To know what is where by looking (Marr 1982) • To understand from images the objects and actions in the world.

  3. The goal of Computer Vision • We would like machines that are able to autonomously interpret the images taken by their sensors and are able to interact with the world. • We would like human-like or even super-human like capabilities. • But what does it mean to understand?

  4. Vision depends on: • Geometry • Physics • The nature of objects in the world (This is the hardest part).

  5. Human Vision appears easy • We use more than 60% of our brain for visual perception • Vision is immediate • What we perceive is a reconstruction within our brain • We regard it as reflecting the world

  6. Human Vision is • Subject to illusions • Quantitatively imprecise • Limited to a narrow range of frequencies • A passive sense -- but we are not passively seeing

  7. Interesting Approaches • Many animals have vision (frogs, insects,birds) • Active, Purposive Vision: Our Vision is related to our capabilities and we are embodied. “We move therefore we see”

  8. The Computer Vision we study A set of computational techniques that allow us to estimate geometric and dynamic properties of the 3D world from digital images

  9. What we will cover • Image Formation and Image Models : Geometric aspects, Radiometric Aspects, Digital Images,Camera Calibration, Lightness and Color • Image Processing: Filtering, Edge Detection, Feature detection • Reconstruction of Geometric and Dynamic Properties of 3D Surface: Multiple View Geometry, Motion, Shape from Single Image Cues (Texture, Shading, Contours)

  10. Books • E. Trucco and A. Verri, “Introductory Techniques for 3D Computer Vision”, Prentice Hall (strongly recommended) • BKP Horn, “Robot Vision”,MIT Press • M. Sonka and V. Hlavac, “Image Processing, Analysis, and Machine Vision”, PWS Publishing • D. Forsyth and J. Ponce, “Computer Vision • A Modern Approach”,Prentice Hall

  11. Related Disciplines • Image Processing: image-to-image transformations, image enhancement (e.g to interpret radiography of lungs), compression, feature extraction (image operations which extract differential invariants of the image) • Pattern Recognition: recognizing and classifying objects • Photogrammetry: obtaining accurate measurements from noncontact imaging, higher accuracy

  12. Related Fields • Graphics. “Vision is inverse graphics”. • Visual perception (Psychphysics) • Neuroscience. • AI • Learning • Robotics • Math: eg., geometry, stochastic processes,optimaztion
