Must read

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.

Computer vision

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

Great book to grasp the foundations of modern CV

This book is a great resource for CV researchers and graduate students who need to understand the foundations of the modern computer vision. One has to be familiar with the contents of this book to understand the state-of-the-art research reported in journal articles. This book does a great job by introducing the exact amount of information needed, not more not less. This level of sophistication, of course, requires good understanding of mathematical and statistical concepts as well as working knowledge of basic image processing. This might not be a book for a beginner in CV but if you want to do serious work in CV, this is definitely the book you'll need to read at some point. Congrats to the author.

Really a great book! How wonderful!

It is unfortunate, but the current computer vision research becomes inaccessible for the person who does not have solid mathematical and statistical foundations. This wonderful book shows comprehensive summary of the correct figures of this "frontier": very scattered, disperse, and generating thousands of practical ideas. There have never been such a book which explains the logics of so many valuable ideas from old to new in this broad area in self contained and accessible manner. This book really helps a lot to approach to the state of the art papers, such as PAMI, ICCV, and ICPR. This book is trully the shortest cut to those state of the art research activities. I appreciate these authors' endevours a lot!
