Excerpt: Computer vision (or machine vision) is the science and technology of machines that see. Here see means the machine is able to extract information from an image, to solve some task, or perhaps "understand" the scene in either a broad or limited sense. Applications range from (relatively) simple tasks, such as industrial machine vision systems which, say, count bottles speeding by on a production line, to research into artificial intelligence and computers or robots that can comprehend the world around them. As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images. The image data can take many forms, such as video sequences, views from multiple cameras, or multi-dimensional data from a medical scanner. Today in the 2010s, machine vision is a rapidly developing field, in both the scientific and industrial fields, and indeed now even in the video game universe, with the first machine vision computer game systems appearing as world-wide commercial products. As a technological discipline, compute...
