Hi All,
I am looking for a book on computer vision in python. I am relatively new to computer vision but have some experience in AI. I have learnt a fair amount form scikit-image documentation and trying things out, but need some more overview. Most of the books I have found are related to opencv. Does anyone have a book that they can recommend. I am more interested in getting an overview of the different techniques of object recognition and categorisation then code examples.
Thanks Simon

Have a look at Richard Szeliski from Microsoft's book:

Hi Simon,
for an overview Stefan's recommendation is a good start.

For Python you can have a look at Jan Erik Solem's book "Computer Vision in Python" (O'Reilly): http://programmingcomputervision.com/ You can download a PDF file of the final draft and all code files from this website.

Hi Simon,
The book by Jan Enrik Solem entitled "Programming Computer Vision with Python" is freely available here:
http://programmingcomputervision.com/
It comes with plenty of code (there is a github repository accompanying the book) and it has a nice learn-by-doing approach.
Cheers,
Adrian

I had a look at the book--it's a useful resource in the cookbook style. Note, however, that it does not make use of many of the advanced features available in scikit-learn and scikit-image, so do your homework before using those code snippets.
