Foreword to the Second Edition

The goal of this second version is to add new materials on deep learning, neuroscience applied to computer vision, historical developments in neural networks, and feature learning architectures, particularly neural network methods. In addition, this second edition cleans up some typos and other items from the first version. In total, three new chapters are added to survey the latest feature learning, and hierarchical deep learning methods and architectures. Overall, this book is provides a wide survey of computer vision methods including local feature descriptors, regional and global features, and feature learning methods, with a taxonomy for organizational purposes. Analysis is distributed through the book to provide intuition behind the various approaches, encouraging the reader to think for themselves about the motivations for each approach, why different methods are created, how each method is designed and architected, and why it works. Nearly 1000 references to the literature and other materials are provided, making computer vision and imaging resources accessible at many levels. My expectation for the reader is this: if you want to learn about 90 % of computer vision, read thi
