Today
After a brief presentation, I want people to get hands on experience doing image filtering using OpenCV. OpenCV has many really nice tutorials on the subject. Here are some highlights (the complete list is available here):
I would like groups of 3 to each complete one of these tutorials. After 30 minutes of working on these tutorials, you should report out to the class about what you have learned. The presentation should be short (5 minutes). Here are some possible structures for you presentation:
- Explain the algorithm used in the tutorial in a way that everyone can understand (this will apply to some of the tutorials more than other). This might involve presenting the basic steps on the whiteboard.
- Show a demo of the code from the tutorial in action and highlight the core steps in how the code works. You should try to go beyond just restating what is in the tutorial. For instance,
- Does the function have any tunable parameters, and if so how might you successfully tune these parameters?
- Did you modify the sample code, and if so, can you show us what your modified code does?
- What are the limitations that you ran into with OpenCV that the class might be interested in hearing about?
- Some combination of 1 and 2.
