Course Objectives: The aim of the course is to study computer vision, which tries to “make computers see and interpret” using the observations in the form of multiple 2D (or 3D) images. In this undergraduate/graduate level course, the focus is on mainly basic computer vision concepts. The course will provide the participants with a background in Computer Vision both in practical aspects as being able to implement computer vision algorithms, and their mathematical understanding.

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;

3.Transform images by geometric transforms: rigid, affine, and polynomial warping
4. Define and compute feature extraction operators: edges and corners, lines, and scale-invariant feature extraction in images
5. Describe mathematical image morphological operators
6. Construct segmentation algorithms: histogram-analysis-based thresholding, clustering intensities, and region growing
7. Discuss visual motion estimation methods
8. Apply object and shape recognition approaches to problems in computer vision
9. Describe basic multiple view geometry and stereo concepts
