Computational Knowledge Vision: The First Footprints presents a novel, advanced framework which combines structuralized knowledge and visual models. In advanced image and visual perception studies, a visual model's understanding and reasoning ability often determines whether it works well in complex scenarios. This book presents state-of-the-art mainstream vision models for visual perception.
