This book brings together three tutorial introductions to topics that shape modern computer vision: vision and language, CMOS image sensors, and differentiable rendering. Each chapter is written by a researcher active in the field and explains its subject from first principles, so that readers can reach current work without first assembling the background from scattered papers. Together the chapters show how widely the field now reaches, from the silicon device through which light becomes data, through the differentiable modeling of image formation, to the connection between what an image shows and the language we use to describe it.
The chapters began as tutorial lectures organized by the Special Interest Group on Computer Vision and Image Media of the Information Processing Society of Japan, and they retain the character of those lectures. Each is self-contained and assumes no knowledge of the others, so the book can be read straight through or consulted for a single topic. Three further tutorials appear in the companion volume.
Graduate students and newcomers entering any of these areas will find a clear and structured introduction, while researchers and engineers working in one area of computer vision can use the book to gain a working understanding of other areas of computer vision.
