We are usually not paying a ention to the process of how we perceive images with our eyes and give feedbacks in terms of action, such as slowing down to the speed limit. We do these tasks eff ortlessly in real-time. Computer vision and image processing fi eld has been trying to mimic the human’s capability in visually recognising objects which will allow machine to replace human in performing boring or dangerous tasks. Many applications have been deployed such as removing defects from a conveying belt in a factory. Many other advanced applications are being improved or developed. These applications require researchers and application developers to gain advanced, broad, in-depth and up-to-date understanding of object recognition. This book, Object Recognition, off ers a closer look at the concepts and techniques be- ing used in computer vision. It covers topics related to object recognition from both biological and technological point of view. These topics include, but are not limited to: • the process of object recognition in human brain • some diseases aff ecting object recognition capability of a body • image features or descriptors for object recognition • techniques for improving recognition speed • object recognition for real-world applications • object recognition and registration in 3-D domain This book is suitable for both novice and expert readers. The book provides readers with a vision-based object recognition techniques and enables them to develop ad- vanced, state-of-the-art technique for their applications.
