I thought this might be of some interest here :-) Salvador
Copied and pasted:
Computer vision is all about machines that can see. Artificial systems that get information from images. And it is the subject of Richard Szeliski's upcoming book entitled Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications.
Actually, it's not quite a book yet. It's an almost-a-book (beta book?) that's based on a series of lectures Szeliski, who is a researcher at Microsoft Research, presented at the University of Washington. Szeliski begins with a description of basic concepts on image formation and processing. He then covers advanced topics in feature detection and matching, segmentation, calibration, structure from motion, image stitching, computational photography, stereo, recognition, and image-based rendering.
Szeliski is looking for feedback, and to get it, he's made a draft of the book freely available here. Download and enjoy — and share your comments by sending him feedback.
