The accessible presentation of this book gives both a general view of the entire computer vision enterprise and also offers sufficient detail to be able to build useful applications. Users learn techniques that have proven to be useful by first-hand experience and a wide range of mathematical methods. A CD-ROM with every copy of the text contains source code for programming practice, color images, and illustrative movies. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this book includes essential topics that either reflect practical significance or are of theoretical importance. Topics are discussed in substantial and increasing depth. Application surveys describe numerous important application areas such as image based rendering and digital libraries. Many important algorithms broken down and illustrated in pseudo code. Appropriate for use by engineers as a comprehensive reference to the computer vision enterprise.

Summary: complete mess
Comment: this book is incredibly hard to understand and I would not recommend it to anyone.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Must read
Comment: If you're into Computer Vision this is a must read. The concepts are well explained, and the topics covers all the basic things to know about CV. The edition is very good.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Terrible book, Hard to understand!
Comment: It is hard for me, as a Ph.D. graduate student to understand this book. The content is not well organized and many terms are not defined before using.
Not recommend for any person.

Summary: Broad, but a mess.
Comment: This is, from what I can tell, just about the most complete up-to-date text in the field of computer vision as of late 2006.
But it's a mess.
I'm a PhD student, and have worked my way through more than my fair share of high-level computer science textbooks. This one makes me really appreciate many of them. It reads like a first draft -- overly wordy at times, skipping over important issues, poorly organized... Some concepts that ought to be really simple are made very painful due to what seems to be laziness on the part of the editor. It's like the only people that critiqued this book prior to publication already knew all there is to know about computer vision.
A particularly nasty aspect of this book is that the authors have a horrible habit of including some term in some complex mathematical formula, with no reference whatsoever to that term in the surrounding text! In an explanation of how to use Expectation Maximization in line-fitting, they include a standard-deviation term, with no mention of how you're supposed to choose a value for it other than "...for sigma as before". The only "before" in which the SD (sigma) is mentioned in a similar context that I can find is IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER!!!
Anyway, if you want to try to teach yourself vision, don't bother. If you need the book for a class, I'm sorry it's so expensive. Either way, don't expect much.

Summary: Computer vision
Comment: I think this book is the most complete computer vision arguments. In fact it start to speaks from radiometry to steriovision passing by filter uses!!
Good very good
