[comp.ai] What is the State of the Art of Artificial Vision?

	I'm not sure if my first message got through, so I'm sending
it again...

	I wish to ask how much has been accomplished in the field of
Artificial Vision. What sorts of things have been achieved in the
field of computerized visual perception? To put it another way, what
things is it possible to "perceive" with the computerized vision
systems that have been devised to date? What progress has been made in
artificial-vision algorithms and in artificial-vision hardware?

	I am sure that appropriate specialized hardware will be
essential for artificial-vision applications, since the amount of raw
data to be processed is enormous, and many of the fundamental
operations are relatively simple and can be done in parallel. And that
is why I asked about hardware.

	Has anyone published the kind of overview of the
artificial-vision field that I have been asking for?
