Course description |
This module aims to build on the introductory computer vision material taught in Introduction to Vision and Robotics. The main aim is to give students an understanding of main concepts in visual processing by constructing several vision systems during the course of the lecture series and practicals. |

2 - be able to acquire and process raw image data (assessed practical).
3 - be able to relate image data to 3D scene structures (assessed practical).
4 - know the concepts behind and how to use several model-based object representations, and to critically compare them (assessed by exam).
5 - know many of the most popularly used current computer vision techniques (assessed by exam).
6 - undertake computer vision work in MATLAB (assessed practical).
7 - be able to review and critique current research work (literature review). |

Assessment
There are 2 lab-based practicals at 10% each, plus a 3rd assignment for 10% more. The lab exercise is done in teams of 2. These exercises usually involve: 1) basic image processing and 2) 3D scene or video analysis. Any programming language can be used, but Matlab is the language used in the lecture materials. The 3rd assignment will be to create a web page summarising a topic in CVonline for which no material exists at present. There will be a small set of alternative topics suitable for level 10 students available for the web page construction.
If delivered in semester 1, this course will have an option for semester 1 only visiting undergraduate students, providing assessment prior to the end of the calendar year. |
