Reviews

From the reviews: "‘From Features to Actions: Unifying Perspectives in Computational and Robot Vision’ was a workshop organized by the editors … . This book is a collection of interesting research papers presented at that workshop. … this book provides an overview of the latest research on vision algorithms, including their use and evaluation with robotic applications. … I believe that this book will be a valuable resource for those interested in robotic vision research." (George K. Adam, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2008)
