Summary: This chapter presents some recent advances in the area of computer vision. The various stages involved in the area of image processing and their interpretation are described. The first step is that of image registration. That is, the overlay two or more images of the same scene. These are taken from different viewpoints, at different times or possibly by different sensors. The next phase is image preprocessing. This mainly involves image enhancement and clearing for example. Other problem is that of image analysis. This is the extraction of important features of the image. Having obtained a description of the image, the process of object (pattern) recognition can be performed. All of these tasks are very important and useful, they still do not give a semantic interpretation of images. Image interpretation, similar image searching is still a major challenge facing researchers. The second part of this chapter summarises the remaining chapters of the book.
