Course description and aims

Computer vision is a field of research that uses computers to extract information of interest from data acquired by visual sensor. This course introduces the fundamentals of computer vision, including image processing, image features extraction, 3D structure reconstruction, segmentation, and camera calibration. This course aims to develop bases to study advanced computer vision topics such as image recognition and image generation.

Student learning outcomes

- To be able to explain and implement basic image processing, filtering, feature extraction, and 3D reconstruction methods.
- To be able to explain about image segmentation and camera calibration.

Course taught by instructors with work experience

Applicable How instructors' work experience benefits the course
