Preface - The Changing Shape of Computer Vision

Publisher Summary This chapter elaborates the changing shape of computer vision. A great deal of effort has been devoted to understanding how the important intensity changes in an image can be extracted and how the information can be best represented. It is clear that grouping operations need to be defined at each level of resolution of each representation in the visual system to impose hierarchical structure upon the representation. The advantages that should accrue from imposing such structure are likely to be precisely those that have inspired the development of data structures generally in computer science.
