A computer vision model can look excellent in testing—and still fail the moment it meets the real world…
Does a model that performs well in validation suddenly produce false detections after deployment?
Is classical computer vision, camera calibration, or geometric vision becoming a weak spot despite stronger deep-learning skills?
Does technical material explain what an algorithm does without making clear when to use it, why it fails, or how to get it into production?
Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition Handbook is designed as a practical desk reference for working engineers, robotics and automation practitioners, manufacturing teams, inspection specialists, machine-learning engineers, and self-taught computer vision developers. Its focus is the complete path from image acquisition and classical OpenCV techniques through machine learning, PyTorch, CNNs, object detection, segmentation, Vision Transformers, embeddings, multimodal systems, evaluation, debugging, optimization, edge deployment, and production monitoring.
Inside, you’ll learn to:
- Understand the Vision Pipeline — Connect image acquisition, preprocessing, models, decisions, and deployment.
- Strengthen Classical CV Skills — Revisit OpenCV, geometry, calibration, features, and image processing.
- Choose the Right Approach — Compare classical vision, traditional machine learning, and deep learning.
- Frame the Actual Task — Distinguish classification, detection, segmentation, recognition, retrieval, and inspection.
- Build Better Representations — Understand engineered features and learned visual representations.
- Train with PyTorch — Move from tensors and CNNs toward practical model development.
- Evaluate Honestly — Use precision, recall, IoU, calibration, and error analysis instead of relying blindly on accuracy.
- Find Silent Metric Lies — Identify failures hidden by aggregate validation results.
- Handle Domain Shift — Prepare for lighting, cameras, compression, viewpoints, and environmental changes.
- Explore Vision Transformers — Understand attention-based architectures and their practical trade-offs.
- Use Modern Representations — Work with embeddings, retrieval, self-supervised learning, and multimodal vision.
- Engineer Better Datasets — Improve collection, labeling, splitting, versioning, and coverage.
- Debug Systematically — Trace failures to data, preprocessing, models, software, or hardware.
- Optimize for Deployment — Consider latency, memory, compute, and edge-device constraints.
- Build for Production — Turn experimental models into monitored, maintainable vision systems.
The handbook consistently emphasizes the practical questions practitioners need answered: what to use, why to use it, how to implement it, and what can break in production.
A reader may already own major computer vision references, wonder whether another handbook is necessary, or worry that technical code will become outdated. Others may avoid traditional handbooks because they feel too math-heavy, too academic, or too broad to use at work.
This book takes a different practical approach: problem → options → trade-offs → implementation → failure modes. It connects classical computer vision with modern deep learning instead of treating them as competing eras, while keeping production constraints—data quality, camera behavior, metrics, latency, hardware, distribution shift, and monitoring—part of the engineering discussion.
If you want to strengthen classical CV while keeping pace with PyTorch, Vision Transformers, and modern visual systems, then make this handbook part of the toolkit.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
