Dear reader, As every month for the last two years, we present a brand new issue of Computer Vision News. As usual, the editors have prepared a brilliant set of articles spanning from machine vision to image processing, from real-world applications to programming tools for our readers. The guest of the month is Roy Davies, Emeritus Professor of Machine Vision at the University of London and author of Computer Vision . While we are making place for the fifth edition of his book on the shelves of our libraries (with new content about Machine Learning and Deep Learning Neural Networks ), Prof. Davies is kindly available to share with us his vision regarding science, academy, career and, of course, computer vision. Read the interview at page 22. If you like curiosities, you will find in this issue for the first time a “ Fail of the Month ” section: as we all know, image processing is not always successful at first try and sometimes the results are hilarious. See for yourself at page 11 an instance where Google Photos believed it could stitch three vacation pictures together: indeed, the panorama is impressive in several ways... Don’t miss all our regular sections, in particular our exclusive technical articles: the Research of the Month and We Tried for You. Enjoy the reading!
