Foreword
Although computer vision is such a relatively young field of study, it has matured immensely over the last 25 years or so—from well-constrained, targeted applications to systems that learn automatically from examples.
Such progress over these 25 years has been spurred not least by mind-boggling advances in vision and computational hardware, making possible simple tasks that could take minutes on small images, now integrated as part of real-time systems that do far more in a fraction of a second on much larger images in a video stream.
This all means that the focus of research has been in a perpetual state of change, marked by near-exponential advances and achievements, and witnessed by the quality, and often quantity, of outstanding ...
