Reaching the goal of machine vision, making the machine see as we do, has proven to be a challeng-ing task.Human visual system is so complex, even compre-hending its functionality is hard;

let alone replicating on a computer. However, there have been sev-eral success stories, face detection,optical character recognition, and autonomous driving. These are powered by sophisti-cated but increasingly cost effective digital hardware, and smart algorithms.

Our Department, with its strong back-ground on digital hardware and algorithms is engaged in solving some of these chal-lenging and intriguing problems. This year we have chosen to feature machine vision in our cover page, a thurst area in our departments five year plan. Several state-of-the-art vision proj-ects are in progress in the areas of feature tracking, autonomous navigation, medical image analysis, neuro navigation, vision on reconfigurable hardware and GPUs and visual behavior analysis. All these projects are associated with the machine vision research group. Department will establish a machine vision laboratory to provide vision-based solutions to the government and coporate sector.
