Description: Computer Images are pervasive now, occupying a large part
of the computer culture. Three main fields of computer imagery are computer
graphics, image media and computer vision. Computer vision techniques are also
used in computer graphics to collect and model complex scenes; image processing
techniques are routinely used by graphic designers to manipulate photographs.
This course, however, emphasizes image processing and computer vision, and
their merging with many other applications such as autonomous driving. We will
discuss image input, image transform, feature detection and recognition in 2D
image processing, and stereo, dynamic image, and 3D measure in computer vision
for different applications. A project and final presentation are required.
Covered contents:
Image processing for enhancement or basic
processing in image space
Edges and their detection
Image transforms
Image segmentation
Image matching
Object detection and recognition
Human and face detection
Scene understanding
3D Reconstruction and Shape from Xs,
3D Sensors
Dynamic image tracking
Motion extraction in image sequences
Human articular motion and video analysis
Image applications in communication, VR, transportation, robots, and multimedia
Evaluation: Term project, Presentation, Exercises (programming), Discussion
We will use Oncourse to provide materials and transmit image data.
