Computer Vision: A Modern Approach

by David A. Forsyth, Jean Ponce

"Computer Vision: A Modern Approach, 2e, " is appropriate for upper-division undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in computer vision found in departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
This textbook provides the most complete treatment of modern computer vision methods by two of the leading authorities in the field. This accessible presentation gives both a general view of the entire computer vision enterprise and also offers sufficient detail for students to be able to build useful applications. Students will learn techniques that have proven to be useful by first-hand experience and a wide range of mathematical methods

Reviews

[London Jackson · Rating 1 out of 5]

I used this book to supplement a course in computer vision. The exposition leaves much to be desired. The authors handwave nontrivial mathematical results, without acknowledgement. Errors are also abundant (least squares solution is wrong on p.294, derivative of minimization criteria is wrong on p. 301).

Giving up on this book. I would revisit a lot of these topics in another text... to be determined.
