Course Objectives This course is designed to introduce fundamental principles and applications of computer vision. During the course, the fundamental concepts of computer vision will be discussed, real-world applications of computer vision will be described, and students will participate in a project where they will apply computer vision algorithms.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to describe theoretical and practical aspects of signal processing using images,
  • will be able to explain the principles of image formation and analysis,
  • will be able to discuss main technical approaches in computer vision,
  • will be able to express basics of measurement and robust detection of features in images,
  • will be able to describe various methods used for registration, alignment, and matching of images.
Course Description The following topics will be included: image formation, image processing, feature detection and matching, segmentation, feature-based alignment, structure from motion, dense motion estimation, image stitching, computational photography, stereo correspondence, 3D reconstructions, image-based rendering, and recognition.
