How Do Computers See?
Computer Vision is a rapidly expanding research area in Computer Science today. With the ever increasing numbers of digital images being shared online each day, it has become important to create a system that can index, classify or search through these images without human intervention. To do this, the computers need to see our world, i.e. to partly or fully understand our images.
