When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge of it is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced it to the stage of science.

Sir William Thompson, Lord Kelvin (1824-1907)

Some great classic computer vision books are available here, Ballard and Brown's Computer Vision Computer Vision, 1982; Batchelor and Whelan's Intelligent Vision Systems for Industry, 1997; Fisher's From Surface To Objects: Computer Vision and Three Dimensional Scene Analysis, 1989; and Jain and Dubes' Algorithms for Clustering Data, 1988.
