Welcome to the repository for drafts of my computer vision textbook.
This book is largely based on the computer vision courses that I have co-taught at the University of Washington (2008, 2005, 2001) and Stanford (2003) with Steve Seitz and David Fleet.
While I am working on the book, I would love to have people "test-drive" it in their computer vision courses (or their research) and send me feedback.
The PDFs should be enabled for commenting directly in your viewer. Also, hyper-links to sections, equations, and references are enabled. To get back to where you were, use Alt-Left-Arrow in Acrobat.
This Web site is also a placeholder for the site that will accompany my computer vision textbook once it is published. Once I get further along with the project, I hope to publish supplemental course material here, such as figures and images from the book, slides sets, pointers to software, and a bibliography.
