This brief history of ophthalmology discusses the development of new techniques and introduces famous medical innovators.

Two important subproblems of computer vision are the detection and recognition of 2D objects in gray-level images. This book discusses the construction and training of models, computational approaches to efficient implementation, and parallel implementations in biologically plausible neural network architectures. The approach is based on statistical modeling and estimation, with an emphasis on simplicity, transparency, and computational efficiency....

Introduces vision and describes how the eyes work. Explains the sense of sight and provides information on eyes including the features of the iris and the pupil, how the eyes function in different types of light and in darkness, and how the body has special ways to protect eyes. Includes an eye diagram, facts, glossary, and resources for further information.

Introduces young readers to the nature and structure of the eye and the process through which the eye and the brain work together to create vision.

In this introduction to modern vision science, the author uses visual illusions to explore how the brain sees the world. Understanding vision, he argues, is not simply a question of knowing which neurons respond to particular visual features, but also requires a computational theory of vision. He draws together results from David Marr's computational framework, Barlow's efficient coding hypothesis, Bayesian inference, Shannon's information theory,...
