Description
The Birth of Computer Vision by James E. Dobson explores the origins of image-recognition techniques and technologies that underpin modern neural networks and sophisticated image-analysis methods. This history reveals how Cold War-era surveillance and reconnaissance shaped the development of computer vision, including facial recognition. Dobson uncovers the connections between algorithms, people, and politics at the core of automating perception today. He examines how new forms of computerized surveillance systems, high-tech policing, and automated decision-making systems have become entangled as a technological apparatus of social control. The book also delves into the development of key computer-vision algorithms, including the Shakey Project's semi-autonomous robot and Frank Rosenblatt's Perceptron. By tracing these developments, Dobson sheds light on the foundations of computer vision and artificial intelligence, their major transformations, and the questionable legacy of their origins.
