I am currently studying Image analysis and Machine vision and I am wondering if some of you have some ideas for developing the area further.

I have read the "Image Processing, Analysis, and Machine Vision 2nd ed" by Sonka, Hlavac and Boyle.

I feel I need some more input on the following issues:
- Object recognition
- Image understanding
- Motion analysis

Feel free to post all ideas about machine vision you have. Perhaps we can feed some of the AI-community with new ideas too.

Working on my Computer Vision Thesis right now. Focusing on abstract recogntion via gradients and eigenspaces.

Are you able to expain eigenspaces using aprox. 100 words?

No way! Go for oochenspaces, you could talk about those in a sentence.

Thank you! very usefull.
