I'm trying to write a new computer vision textbook. I'm going to post updated versions here as I do so. The plan is to first teach probability and machine learning and then present each chapter as a different model with associated learning and inference algorithms.

New post
Now completed first draft of the applications, problems, and literature review up to the end of Chapter 11 (Markov Random Fields). Fixed numerous errors. Thanks particularly to James Tompkin and Yun Fu for helping find these.

New update
New update last night - added the version 0.0 of a chapter on Bag of Words models and fixed a lot of mistakes since last time. I'm now working my way through the book adding in problems, applications and references. Yes. After 550 pages there are finally (some) references.

No longer ashamed
New update yesterday. I think we have reached the point, where I am no longer ashamed of any of the content in the book. Surely this is some kind of milestone! Almost finished the main content now - one more chapter to go. Since last time, I have re-written chapter 10 completely and also done some work on chapter 11, added some more algorithms to the back and and sorted out some mistakes in chapter 1-5.

New update
New update last night. Since last time, I've added a lot to the chapter on shape although it still needs a lot of work. I've also added descriptions of a bunch more algorithms and a section on notation at the beginning and done some work on the first two chapters. Most of the main content is present now - I'm planning on going back and sorting out some of the stuff on dynamic programming/belief prop next week in the light of the new graphical models chapter.

Graphical models
Since last time - finished chapter on graphical models, started work on shape chapter. Sorted out some embarrassing errors in the chapter on transformation models, added a number of algorithms to the section at the back and sorted out the section on linear algebra. Basic text is looking quite complete now, but still no references..
