For decades machine learning and computer vision evolved separately largely ignorant of each other Only recently the need for automating some costly tasks in vision intensi ed to the point that many specialists in the eld asked whether machine learning algorithms can be of help With a focus on model based object recognition the task of this paper is to survey intersecting items in the two disci...

The Machine Vision Team of Industrial Research Limited (formerly part of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research) is involved in a wide range of machine vision research and development projects. This paper gives an overview of three projects which have particular relevance to the meat industry. The projects discussed are: (i) development of a laser scanning inspection s...

Computer Vision (CV) and Machine Learning (ML) have seen a tremendous evolution within the last 15 years. One of the main drivers of this success is the application of machine learning methods to computer vision tasks (image registration, segmentation, 3D reconstruction, tracking, object detection, image classification, ...). These days it is widely agreed that difficult computational problems ...
