Abstract:

Last couple of decades have witnessed amazing progress in image 
processing and computer vision. We take a journey through this evolving 
landscape, visiting the following problems:
1) increasing the resolution of a digital image
2) image classification of protein crystal images
3) image classification of everyday objects
We also discuss how big data computing, large scale machine learning and 
computer vision are converging these days to create new technologies and 
to push the cutting edge further.
