Beta-release CD-ROM is available

Because of the size of some of the above files, some readers may not be able to download the material efficiently from the website. In addition, the current draft of the text has become encyclopedic. It contains a large amount of material in color and many discussions on specific topics that may not be included in the printed text when released.

In response to requests to solve the above problems, a Beta-release version of the complete text (2400 pages, ~800 figures, ~1000 references) has been prepared, in PDF format. It is available in the VISION CONCEPTS Store.
