Computer Vision Resource

I like to share links to ‘go-to’ web sites that house information of value to the machine vision community (if “community” doesn’t sound too pompous,) so here’s one that I just found.

The ‘visionbib’ site is an “annotated bibliography … of computer vision papers accumulated over a number of years,” put together and maintained by Keith Price, who, according to his site, is a retired computer vision researcher.

My brief perusal revealed this to be a real treasure trove of info, but note that the theme is computer vision and not machine vision. Yes, they overlap in that machine vision uses computer vision tools, but ‘visionbib’ is not a place to learn about implementing industrial vision systems (that’s what this blog is for!) ‘Visionbib’ will guide you to sources that will help you learn how image processing tools work. If you’re willing to do the legwork to access the referenced papers you’ll gain a much deeper understanding of the science that underpins our practical applications.

Dip in to it when you want to improve your grasp of the fundamentals, but think of it as your vision “Yoda” – you’ll need to figure out how to apply what you learn!
