Introduction
! Sight is our primary sensation
! 80% of our first 12 years of learning is
through vision
! 30% of neurons in brain’s cortex are
dedicated to vision, compared to 8% for
touch, 2% for hearing

! Human Experience
What is the goal of Computer Vision?

“The goal of Computer Vision is to make useful decisions about

real physical objects and scenes based on sensed images”

What we would like to infer…

Will person B put some money into Person C’s tip bag?
Why is computer vision hard?
! Computers are good at numerical processing

! Humans are good at perceptual processing

! We want to use a computer to mimic human perception…

which is complex to understand

Can perception arise from computation?

Gary Kasparov vs. Deep Blue (1997)
! Can evaluate about 3 positions
per second
! Large chess ‘knowledge’, low
computation ability
! Uses a lot of intuition and feeling
! Learns and adapts very quickly
from his mistakes
! Can get bored, fatigued, loss of
concentration
! Highly intelligent
! Selective searching of positions
http://www.research.ibm.com/deepblue/
! Can evaluate about 2 billion
positions per second
! Small chess knowledge, high
computation ability
! Uses only computations
! Not a learning system (machine
learning algorithms were not used)
! Not affected by feelings such as
Kasparov’s stare
! Dumber than a 2 year old
! Brute-force evaluation of all moves
