The Rise of Computer Vision

Computer vision, automatic image analysis applications, panoramic and
3D reconstructions, face recognition...
all this has attracted more and more attention in the press. Its is
always good to remind readers that this area remains largely unsolved,
and that it is very easy to claim something can be done and to talk
about it, but actually get it working is really really hard.

Some recent major news articles (on basic stuff without details)
