Course Objectives:	This class introduces the fundamental techniques in computer vision. Initially basic concepts of image formation, representation and camera projection geometries will be given. Later some classical image processing techniques will be introduced such as edge detection, segmentation, thresholding etc. Image matching, optical flow, local image features will be described in the context of multiple image processing. Basic image recognition techniques are also to be introduced. 3D inference will be another focus where stereo imaging, 3D reconstruction and various shape from X techniques are to be discussed.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
1- List the main components of the computer vision processes
2- Identify the latest development of Computer Vision
3- Apply 3D vision techniques in real world applications

Course Content

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental techniques and applications of computer vision. Students will begin by exploring digital image processing, edge and feature detection, and image transformations. The course then delves into camera models, calibration, and 3D scene reconstruction using stereo vision and structure from motion. Practical topics such as motion segmentation, object recognition, and image warping are covered through hands-on programming exercises and real-world datasets. The course concludes with student-led term projects that demonstrate the integration of these techniques into complete vision systems.
