Study Notes
Challenges in Computer Vision
- Computer-vision systems have made progress since the 1950s but still lag behind human perception.
- The difficulty of designing a "perceiving machine" is explained, and the challenges it poses to computer systems are discussed.
- The ambiguous nature of the image cast on the retina is highlighted, making it challenging to determine the object that created the image.
- Humans easily solve the inverse projection problem, but it remains a serious challenge for computer-vision systems.
- The problem of hidden or blurred objects is described, with humans being able to perceive partially visible objects and understand obscured parts.
- People can recognize objects that are not in sharp focus, unlike computer systems, which perform poorly in such tasks.
- The issue of objects looking different from various viewpoints is raised, and the concept of viewpoint invariance is explained.
- Computer-vision systems can achieve viewpoint invariance through complex calculations, unlike humans who effortlessly recognize objects from different perspectives.
- The text includes visual aids such as figures to illustrate the challenges and examples, like identifying obscured objects and recognizing faces from degraded images.
- The challenges discussed are fundamental to understanding why computer-vision systems still struggle to match human perception.
- The text provides insights into the complexities of human perception and the difficulties in replicating it in computer-vision systems.
- The examples and explanations serve to underscore the gap between human and computer perception.
