Our computer vision textbook is released! Foundations of Computer Vision with Antonio Torralba and Bill Freeman mitpress.mit.edu/9780262048972/… It’s been in the works for >10 years. Covers everything from linear filters and camera optics to diffusion models and radiance fields. 1/4
One of the most fun parts for me has been making visualizations. To give a sample, here are a few, showing 1) embeddings layer by layer in an MLP, 2) weight sharing in a CNN, 3) a diffusion model, 4) an image captioning system 2/4
@phillip_isola @sindero No free version? You should have negotiated with MIT press (unless you actually care about royalties:)
@phillip_isola Congratulations! Looking forward to reading it. It must have been a massive amount of work.
