Computer vision is the problem of extracting scene and object information from single or sequences of images. Humans receive most of the information about their environment through their eyes. Modelling similar capabilities on a computer is a challenging problem that has received much research attention in the last 40 years. Today, there are many applications of computer vision: automatic mail sorting, analysis of medical images, and self driving cars. The course will present the theoretical underpinnings and the most important applications of computer vision.
Topics include:
Pixels, images, cameras
Linear algebra review
Camera calibration
Convolution, Edge detection
RANSAC algorithm
Corner detectors, Harris detectors
SIFT features
SURF features
Pose estimation
Image segmentation
Snakes
Object tracking
Clustering, K-means clustering
Face recognition, PCA, Eigenfaces
Deep learning and computer vision
Stereo vision
Students will use recent research papers and lecture slides as source material. Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications by Richard Szeliski. The textbook is available for free personal use at http://szeliski.org/Book/
Your grade in the course depends on the following assessments:
Assignment 1: 10%
Midterm Test: 20%
Project: 30%
Final Exam: 40%
The course uses a combination of traditional lecture slides and interactive jupyter notebooks. Some of the notebooks are hosted on the Google Colaboratory and Microsoft Azure Notebooks servers.
The following lecture slides are available:
Affine Transformations
