From Image Analysis to Computer Vision: An Annotated Bibliography, 1955–1979

摘要

Almost as soon as digital computers became available, it was realized that they could be used to process and extract information from digitized images. Initially, work on digital image analysis dealt with specific classes of images such as text, photomicrographs, nuclear particle tracks, and aerial photographs; but by the 1960s, general algorithms and paradigms for image analysis began to be formulated. When the artificial intelligence community began to work on robot vision, these paradigms were extended to include recovery of three-dimensional information, at first from single images of a scene, but eventually from image sequences obtained by a moving camera; at this stage, image analysis had become scene analysis or computer vision. This paper reviews selected publications on digital image and scene analysis through the 1970s. It gives about 270 references, nearly 200 of them describing specific advances and the others documenting the growth of the field.
