Dobson reveals how new forms of computerized surveillance systems, high-tech policing, and automated decision-making systems have become entangled, functioning together as a new technological apparatus of social control. Tracing the development of a series of important computer-vision algorithms, he uncovers the ideas, worrisome military origins, and lingering goals reproduced within the code and the products based on it, examining how they became linked to one another and repurposed for domestic and commercial uses. Dobson includes analysis of the Shakey Project, which produced the first semi-autonomous robot, and the impact of student protest in the early 1970s at Stanford University, as well as recovering the computer vision–related aspects of Frank Rosenblatt’s Perceptron as the crucial link between machine learning and computer vision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMotivated by the ongoing use of these major algorithms and methods, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Birth of Computer Vision\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e chronicles the foundations of computer vision and artificial intelligence, its major transformations, and the questionable legacy of its origins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover alt text: Two overlapping circles in cream and violet, with black background.
