| Subject Overview: | This subject gives an introduction to computer vision and image processing. Computer vision is the business of using computers to extract useful information automatically from digital images and videos; image processing is the business of transforming images to be more suitable for human interpretation, storage, transmission, or subsequent analysis by computer vision. Computer vision and image processing can be used in such practical applications as: automated inspection for quality control in industry; medical imaging; visual guidance for robots; face recognition; automated surveillance and monitoring; remote sensing to a degree providing a visual sense for machines. Topics covered include low-level, mid-level, and high-level vision; image formation; synopsis of human vision; segmentation and feature extraction; perceptual organisation; visual motion analysis; stereo; shape from shading and other properties; colour processing; shape analysis; texture; Hough transform; image compression; object recognition; and image interpretation and scene understanding. |
|---|---|
| Assessment: | One assignment which will involve writing a report of around five pages in length about some topic in computer vision and an in-class presentation of around 15 minutes (20%); one programming project during semester, expected to take about 36 hours (30%); and a 2-hour end-of-semester written examination (50%). |
