Acknowledgments

We would like to thank Gerard Medioni and Sven Dickinson, the editors of this Synthesis Lectures on Computer Vision series, for giving us an opportunity to contribute to this series. We greatly appreciate the help and support of Diane Cerra, Executive Editor at Morgan & Claypool, who managed the complete book preparation process. We are indebted to our colleagues, students, collaborators, and co-authors we worked with during our careers, who contributed to the development of our interest in this subject. We are also deeply thankful to the wider research community, whose work has led to major advancements in computer vision and machines learning, a part of which is covered in this book. More importantly, we want to express our gratitude toward the people who allowed us to use their figures or tables in some portions of this book. This book has greatly benefited from the constructive comments and appreciation by the reviewers, which helped us improve the presented content. Finally, this effort would not have been possible without the help and support from our families.

We would like to acknowledge support from Australian Research Council (ARC), whose funding and support was crucial to some of the contents of this book.
