Preface

Artificial vision is a rapidly growing discipline, aiming to build computational models of the visual functionalities in humans, as well as machines that emulate them. Although the ultimate goals are ambitious, successful theories and applications have appeared so far in the literature, thanks to the converging contributions from image processing, computational geometry, optics, pattern recognition and basic computer science.

The on-going research work suggests that vision is to be studied in the context of other – seemingly distinct – functionalities. In particular, active vision focuses on the dynamics of sensing, so that moving, modifying sensor parameters, and acquiring information concur to perform visual tasks in a purposive way. ...
