The Camera Obscura enabled this projection with a pinhole. Taking a picture is projecting a 3D scene into a 2D plane. Constantijn Huygens, private letter April 13, 1622

The art of painting is dead, for this is life itself: or something higher, if we could find a word for it. It is impossible to express the beauty of the camera obscura image in words. The second approach runs inference on a Spatial Convolutional Neural Network to detect road lanes on image and video input. We cover Canny edge detection, Gaussian blur, Regions of Interest, and Hough Transform. The first approach is based upon a set of frequently used Computer Vision algorithms. We then move to an application of Computer Vision to detect road lanes in images and pictures. We cover pinholes, lenses, sensors (CCD and CMOS), Bayer filters, and color reconstruction. We start with the mechanics of image formation.

To balance this approach, the article directs the reader towards instructive references and provides ready-to-run source code. From the hardware to the systems enabling computer vision, this article is an overview that favors breadth over depth.
