Dear Imaging and Vision people

        RE: Online resources for your imaging and vision courses

As we are starting a new academic year, you might be wondering about various
online teaching and research resources for image processing and computer
vision.
Some resources are:

1) Video lectures - 15 hours of video in c. 10 minute blocks on:
     flat part recognition, deformable part recognition, range data
     and stereo data 3D part recognition, detecting & tracking objects in
video,
     and behaviour recognition          
2) CVonline - organising about 2000 related topics in imaging & vision, 
     including some elementary neurophysiology and psychophysics.
     Most content is in wikipedia now, but the index is independent.
3) CVonline supplements:
     list of online and hardcopy books
     list of datasets for research and student projects
     list of useful software packages
     list of application areas
4) Online education resources of the Int. Assoc. for Pattern Recognition
5) HIPR2 - Image Processing Teaching Materials with JAVA
6) CVDICT: Dictionary of Computer Vision and Image Processing

See more details of these below .

Best wishes, Bob Fisher

================================================================

1) video lectures - 15 hours of video in c. 10 minute blocks. 
   See: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/AVINVERTED/main_av.htm

   Including PDF slides, links to supplementary reading, a drill question
for each video
   The site contains a set of video lectures on a subset of computer vision.
It is 
   intended for viewers who have an understanding of the nature of images
and some 
   understanding of how they can be processed. The course is more like 
   Computer Vision 102, introducing a range of standard and acccepted 
   methods, rather than the latest research advances.

================================================================

2) CVonline is a free WWW-based set of introductions to topics in computer
vision. 

    http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CVonline/

   Because of the improvements in the content available in Wikipedia, 
   it is now possible to find content for more than 50% of CVonline's 2000
topics.
   CVonline groups together the topics into a sensible topic hierarchy, but
tries
   to exploit the advancing quality and breadth of wikipedia's content.

================================================================

3) CVonline has a variety of supplemental information useful to students and
researchers,
   namely lists of:

   online and hardcopy books:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CVonline/books.htm
   datasets for research and student projects:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CVonline/Imagedbase.htm
   useful software packages:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CVonline/SWEnvironments.htm
   application areas: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CVonline/applic.htm

================================================================

4) The education resources of the Int. Assoc. for Pattern Recognition
   
   http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/IAPR/

contain many links to Tutorials and Surveys, Explanations, Online Demos,
Datasets, Books, Code for:
  Symbolic pattern recognition, Statistical pattern recognition, Machine
learning,
  1D Signal pattern recognition and 2D Image analysis and computer vision.

================================================================

5) HIPR2: free WWW-based Image Processing Teaching Materials with JAVA

  http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/HIPR2/

  HIPR2 is a free www-based set of tutorial materials for the 50 most
commonly
  used image processing operators. It contains tutorial text, sample results
  and JAVA demonstrations of individual operators and collections.

================================================================

6) CVDICT: Dictionary of Computer Vision and Image Processing

  http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CVDICT/

  This are the free view terms A..G from the the first version of the
  Dictionary, published by John Wiley and Sons. (Note there there a second
  edition currently on sale).
