title: Getting started in ComputerVision/Road Tracking
body: <p>I want to develop a system that can track and follow a road. Initially, I'd like to handle well-defined roads only and maybe later incorporate tracking for roads that aren't so well defined.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I'm facing is that I don't know where to get started. I am new to image processing and I was hoping I could get some pointers on where to start off and what books to read on the subject. I am an 'experienced' programmer (I can program in C and Python fairly well, and can handle C++ and Objective-C), so the code itself isn't that big of an issue - its just "where do I start? what do I read?" thats confusing me. I am also open on learning another language if it helps me in anyway.</p>
  
  <p>I'll appreciate any pointers/suggestions regarding this.</p>
