Current research opportunities for image processing and computer vision

Abstract

Image processing and computer vision is an important and essential area in today’s scenario. Several problems can be solved through computer vision techniques. There are a large number of challenges and opportunities which require skills in the field of computer vision to address them. Computer vision applications cover each band of the electromagnetic spectrum and there are numerous applications in every band. This article is targeted to the research students, scholars and researchers who are interested to solve the problems in the field of image processing and computer vision. It addresses the opportunities and current trends of computer vision applications in all emerging domains. The research needs are identified through available literature survey and classified in the corresponding domains. The possible exemplary images are collected from the different repositories available for research and shown in this paper. The opportunities mentioned in this paper are explained through the images so that a naive researcher can understand it well before proceeding to solve the corresponding problems. The databases mentioned in this article could be useful for researchers who are interested in further solving the problem. The motivation of the article is to expose the current opportunities in the field of image processing and computer vision along with corresponding repositories. Interested researchers who are working in the field can choose a problem through this article and can get the experimental images through the cited references for working further.
