计算机视觉是一门研究如何使机器“看”的科学，更进一步的说，就是是指用摄影机和电脑代替人眼对目标进行识别、跟踪和测量等机器视觉，并进一步做图形处理，用电脑处理成为更适合人眼观察或传送给仪器检测的图像。作为一个科学学科，计算机视觉研究相关的理论和技术，试图建立能够从图像或者多维数据中获取‘信息’的人工智能系统。这里所 指的信息指Shannon定义的，可以用来帮助做一个“决定”的信息。因为感知可以看作是从感官信号中提 取信息，所以计算机视觉也可以看作是研究如何使人工系统从图像或多维数据中“感知”的科学。

-Computer vision is a study of how to make the machine "see" the science, further said, that refers to the camera and computer instead of the human eye on the target identification, tracking and measurement machine vision, and further to do graphics processing, computer become more suitable for dealing with the human eye observation or detection of the image transmitted to the instrument. As a scientific discipline, computer vision research-related theory and technology, or trying to establish a multi-dimensional data from the image to get　information　artificial intelligence system. The information referred to here refers to Shannon defined, can be used to help make a "decision" of information. Because perception can be seen as extracting information from the sensory signal, so the computer can also be seen as a vision on how to make artificial systems or multi-dimensional image data from the "perception" of science.
