Introduction to Computer Vision

Description

This course supplies an introduction to laptop imaginative and prescient together with fundamentals of picture formation, digicam imaging geometry, function detection and matching, multiview geometry together with stereo, movement estimation and monitoring, and classification. We’ll develop primary strategies for functions that embody discovering recognized fashions in photos, depth restoration from stereo, digicam calibration, picture stabilization, automated alignment (e.g. panoramas), monitoring, and motion recognition. We focus much less on the machine studying side of CV as that’s actually classification idea finest discovered in an ML course.

The main target of the course is to develop the intuitions and arithmetic of the strategies in lecture, after which to study in regards to the distinction between idea and apply in the issue units. All algorithms work completely within the slides. However keep in mind what Yogi Berra mentioned: In idea there is no such thing as a distinction between idea and apply. In apply there may be. (Einstein mentioned one thing related however who is aware of extra about actual life?) On this course you don’t, for probably the most half, apply high-level library capabilities however use low to mid degree algorithms to analyze photos and extract structural info.
