Textbooks

Currently, there is no textbook that reflects the material covered in this class. In-class lectures will mainly be supplemented by portions of the following textbooks:

    • Digital Image Processing
      By Kenneth R. Castleman This is a basic image processing book. I will be using this book mainly as a reference. Since it contains a lot of material that I will not be covering in the course, I will be assigning selected readings as needed.
    • OpenGL Programming Guide: The official guide to learning OpenGL, version 1.4
      By the OpenGL Architecture Review Board This book will be a useful reference for getting some of the programming assignments done. The assignments this year will not rely much on OpenGL programming, so I consider this book to be recommended, not required, reading.
In addition to lecture slides, I will be posting research papers on the web, as further reading. In some cases, reading portions of these papers will be required. In that case, you will see references to the papers on the Schedule & Notes page.

Supplementary Textbooks

We will not be using the following books directly, but they offer different perspectives on
the topics that will be covered in class. More textbook references can be found at the
Computer Vision Education Resources webpage.
