Course Objectives: The aim of the course is to study advanced image processing computer vision concepts, which tries to “make computers see and interpret” using the observations in the form of multiple 2D (or 3D) images and video. 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.
