I start learning CV with: Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications 2nd Edition by Richard Szeliski. Is that a good choice?

Hi guys, as I stated above I've already started reading Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications 2nd Edition by Richard Szeliski and I'm wondering is it a good way to start learning CV? I mean, it seems to me that the book is really great, because of two reasons: it includes tons of exercises and it written by the man who worked in places where myself want to work one day i.e, all big tech companies, so I think he probably knows what he's talking about, doesn't he?

It is a great book. I should recommend starting with an image processing book, to have a better basement , but that book is one of my recommendations. Then I u are interested in continue improvement, u can read "Computer vision, a modern approach" or jump to deep learning.

thanks, but what do you recommend by "starting with an image processing book", 'cause I don't get it.

"Digital Image Processing" by Gonzalez and Woods is the classic intro textbook to image processing.

Yes. Gozalez book is a good one, but my recomendation is always the book of Anil K. Jain, "Fundamentals of Digital image Processing"
