Important issues about computer vision

 Who doesn't like robot, who resists Star Wars caracters and I will not even mention curiosity rover (our dude exploring MARS and sending to us on earth some smart and fancy photos). Are those things magical ? Are they Scientific ?
As one old man told me another, this technology of yours will never stop surprising us...
 If I may say something or ask something who will resist the charm of computer vision ?

Today I was just reading this famous book of Linda S and G. Stockman on computer vision till I came across these important points.  Among some critical issues to the understanding of computer vision are the following:
  •  Sensing: How do sensors obtain images of the world ? How do the images encode properties of the world, such as material, shape, illumination and spatial relationships ?
  •  Encoded Information: How do images yield information for understanding  the 3D world (geometry, texture, shading, motion and identify of object in it) ?
  •  Representations: what representations should be used for stored descriptions of objects, their parts, properties and relationships ?
  • Algorithms: what methods are there to process image information and construct descriptions  of the world and its objects?
When we see all these numerous applications of machine vision in different aspect of our daily life, it is clear we have move from fiction to reality...then what neXt ???????
