Overview
The state-of-the art in computer vision: theory, applications, and programming
Whether you're a working engineer, developer, researcher, or student, this is your single authoritative source for today's key computer vision innovations. Gerard Medioni and Sing Bing Kang present advances in computer vision such as camera calibration, multi-view geometry, and face detection, and introduce important new topics such as vision for special effects and the tensor voting framework. They begin with the fundamentals, cover select applications in detail, and introduce two popular approaches to computer vision programming.
Camera calibration using 3D objects, 2D planes, 1D lines, and self-calibration
Extracting camera motion and scene structure from image sequences
Robust regression for model fitting using M-estimators, RANSAC, and Hough transforms
Image-based lighting for illuminating scenes and objects with real-world light images
Content-based image retrieval, covering queries, representation, indexing, search, learning, and more
Face detection, alignment, and recognition--with new solutions for key challenges
Perceptual interfaces for integrating vision, speech, and haptic modalities
Development with the Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCV)
The new SAI framework and patterns for architecting computer vision applications

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
