Welcome to the Web site (<http://szeliski.org/Book>) for my computer vision textbook, which you can now purchase at a variety of locations, including [Springer][9] ([SpringerLink][10], [DOI][11]), [Amazon][12], and [Barnes & Noble][13]. The book is also available in [Chinese][14] and [Japanese][15] (translated by [Prof. Toru Tamaki). 

This book is largely based on the computer vision courses that I have co-taught at the University of Washington ([2008][16], [2005][17], [2001][18]) and Stanford (2003) with [ Steve Seitz][19] and [David Fleet][20].

You are welcome to download the PDF from this Web site for personal use, but **not** to repost it on any other Web site. Please post a link to this URL (<http://szeliski.org/Book>) instead. An electronic version of this manuscript will continue to be available even after the book is published. Note, however, that while the content of the electronic and hardcopy versions are the same, the page layout (pagination) is different, since the electronic version is optimized for online reading. 

The PDFs should be enabled for commenting directly in your viewer. Also, hyper-links to sections, equations, and references are enabled. To get back to where you were, use Alt-Left-Arrow in Acrobat. 

If you have any comments or feedback on the book, _ [ please send me e-mail][21]_.

This Web site will also eventually contain supplementary materials for the textbook, such as figures and images from the book, slides sets, pointers to software, and a bibliography. 

### Electronic draft:

[September 3, 2010][22]

### Errata

See [here][23] for a list of errors that people have noticed and reported (last updated 2/1/2011). Prof. Toru Tamaki has compiled a [more extensive list][24] during his translation of the book into Japanese (1/2/2013). 

### Slide sets

There are not yet any slide sets to go with the book.  Please feel free to look at the University of Washington [ CSE 576 (Graduate Computer Vision)][16] slides that Steve Seitz and I have put together. 

Additional good sources for related slides include:

* Antonio Torralba's [ 6.869 Advances in Computer Vision][26] class at MIT 
* Michael Black's [ CS 143 Introduction to Computer Vision][27] class at Brown 
* Kristen Grauman's [ CS 378 Computer Vision][28] class at UT Austin 
* Alyosha Efros' [ 15-463 Computational Photography][29] and [ 16-721 Learning-Based Methods in Vision][30] classes at Carnegie Mellon 
* Pascal Fua's [ CS-442 Introduction to Computer Vision][31] class at EPFL
