Processing in most artificial or biological vision systems starts with early vision which involves the extraction of local visual modalities (like optical flow, disparity and contrast transition etc.) and local image structures (edge-like, junction-like and texture-like structures). Since information in early vision is processed only locally, it is inherently ambiguous. One way to deal with the missing and ambiguous information is to make use of the redundancy of visual information by exploiting the statistical regularities of natural scenes. This book is interested in the ambiguities and the...

Using the Python language as a medium for illustrating and demonstrating the concepts, this introductory book explores computer science in a programming environment, offering fundamental ideas and abstract theorems for solving computational problems.
