Classifying the literature related to computer vision and image analysis

Publications related to computer vision and image analysis can be classifie d by subject and type in various ways. A publication often needs to be assi gned to multiple subject classes. In most cases, key words that occur in th e title of a publication can be used to assign it to appropriate classes. I t should be possible to semiautomatically compile bibliographies of the cur rent literature by collecting references from existing databases or publish ers' web pages, standardizing their format, and classifying them using key words, but to ensure that the resulting bibliography is of goodstylistic qu ality, manual postediting will be necessary.
