Classifying the literature related to computer vision and image analysis

Publications related to computer vision and image analysis can be classified by subject and type in various ways. A publication often needs to be assigned to multiple subject classes. In most cases, key words that occur in the title of a publication can be used to assign it to appropriate classes. It should be possible to semiautomatically compile bibliographies of the current literature by collecting references from existing databases or publishers' web pages, standardizing their format, and classifying them using key words, but to ensure that the resulting bibliography is of goodstylistic quality, manual postediting will be necessary.
