About

Computer Vision Online is a structured explanation of computer vision: its concepts, tasks, algorithms, models, datasets, metrics and landmark papers, each in its own article and linked to the ideas it builds on.

About me

I'm Amin Sarafraz, and I write and edit Computer Vision Online. I'm a machine learning and computer vision engineer, and I have worked across research and industry since the late 2000s. I have built systems for underwater imaging, aerial and drone image analysis, 3D reconstruction, augmented reality, gaze and attention analysis, and medical image analysis; led teams developing deep learning products; mentored students in research; and taught machine learning to professionals. My current work focuses on AI systems built with foundation models.

What you will find here

Each article states its prerequisites and related topics, so a reader can start from any article and follow the links back to the foundations or forward to current methods. Where a method has a mathematical core, the article derives it; where it can be shown in code, it includes a small, runnable example on images. Articles cite the papers and documentation they draw on.
