Picture Recognition and Scene Analysis

摘要

The development of techniques for the computer analysis of pictures and scenes began over 20 years ago. Most of the work in this field has been application-oriented; some of the major applications areas are automation (robot vision), cytology, radiology, high-energy physics, remote sensing, and document processing (character recognition). However, many of the techniques and algorithms, even if developed for a particular application, are also applicable in other areas.
