An introduction to the concepts of 2D and 3D computer vision. Topics include: low-level image processing methods such as filtering and edge detection; segmentation and clustering; optical flow and tracking; recognition; shape reconstruction from stereo, motion, texture, and shading; and recent developments in deep learning. Throughout the course, we also look at aspects of human vision and perception that guide and inspire computer vision techniques.
Prerequisites: Prerequisites for the course are COS 217 and COS 226. The course will require programming in Matlab, as well as some background in data structures and linear algebra. Experience with signal processing, statistics, and/or computer graphics is useful but not necessary.
Grading: There will be four assignments worth 56% of the final grade total, a midterm worth 20% and a final project worth 24%.
Midterm: The midterm will be during class time on Thu, Oct 26. No exceptions or alternate times will be offered.
