Computer Vision

Computer vision, which some researchers consider as superset of image processing, is related to different fields such as signal and image processing and machine intelligence. The ultimate goal of computer vision is to enable the computers (or robots) to "see".

Fields

Image Pre-Processing (filtering, enhancement)
Image Segmentation
Image Data Classification

Special Methodologies

Mathematical Morphology
Anisotropic Diffusion
Fuzzy and Probabilistic Techniques
Genetic Algorithms
Neural Nets
Reinforcement Agents

Applications

Industrial Image-Based Quality Control
Object Detection and Measurement
Medical Image Analysis

Visual Cortex

The visual cortex is the part of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for processing visual stimuli. It is located at the back of the brain in the occipital lobe. It is highly specialized for processing information about static and moving objects and is excellent in pattern recognition. Anatomically, the visual cortex occupies the entire occipital lobe, the inferior temporal lobe (IT), posterior parts of the parietal lobe, and a few small regions in the frontal lobe. David H. Hubel and Torsten Wiesel received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981 for their work on the visual cortex. [Source: WIKIPEDIA]
