Machine Vision: A Survey, David Phillips

Computer Science Graduate and Undergraduate Student Scholarship

This paper surveys the field of machine vision from a computer science perspective. It is written to act as an introduction to the field and presents the reader with references to specific implementations. Machine vision is a complex and developing field that can be broken into the three stages: stereo correspondence, scene reconstruction, and object recognition. We present the techniques and general approaches to each of these stages and summarize the future direction of research.
