Chapter 1 - Fundamentals of Computer Vision

Hello everyone,

As discussed on our outline we wanna teach fundamentals of computer vision by explaining the "What, Why and How's of computer vision" and here is our proposed/ working contents:

1. Why Computer Vision? [motivation.mdx] ---> taken by- @bellabf

• The perspective of vision
• Significance of Vision to Humans
• The motivation behind creating artificial systems capable of simulating human vision and cognition

2. What is computer vision? [defination.mdx] ---> taken by - @seshu-pavan && @bellabf

• The core of what computer vision is
• Historical definition
• Deep learning and the computer vision renaissance
• Distinction between human and computer vision systems
• Relation to the field of machine learning and image processing
• Introduction to image understanding at different levels

3. Computer Vision in the Wild ( How) [applications.mdx] ---> taken by - @aman06012003 & @froestiago

• Problems, challenges, and objectives of CV in the real world (examples of problems that computer vision tries to address)
• A high-level overview of computer vision systems with examples (one or two)
• Ethical considerations

Although individual chapters are taken by us, we are working on the topics interchangeably. We recently got two more team members as collaborators / reviewers / enhancers -- @krmdel and @amina-mardiyyah

Yesterday we submitted our initial work's PR: https://github.com/johko/computer-vision-course/pull/73 , anyone reading this feel free to comment down your thoughts / suggestions / corrections to give a great experience to our learners. 🤗

Best;
