What is Computer Vision

Computer Vision is the science that develops the theoretical and algorithmic basis by which useful information about the world can be automatically extracted and analyzed from an observed image, image set, or image sequence from computations made by a ... computer. R. B. Haralick, L.G. Shapiro
