COMP 4900D: Introduction
to Computer Vision
Winter 2011
|
Lectures: Tuesday and Thursday, 10:05am - 11:25am, 506 Southam Hall
My Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 8:30am - 10:00am, 5270 HP
The TA is Hamed Zaboli. His office hours are Tuesday from 1:00 to 2:30 in room 1175 HP.
He also has an office in the university in 6210B VSIM building if you need to contact him outside the office hours.
Course Outline
This course introduces the basic ideas and techniques of computer vision.
The central theme is reconstructing 3D models from 2D images. Topics include:
image formation, image feature extraction, camera models, camera calibration,
structure from motion, stereo, recognition, augmented reality, image searching.
Prerequisite: basic linear algebra and calculus, programming in C or C++.
Textbook: The textbook that I used is out of print. I will produce notes that cover the same material.
Software: You will need to use OpenCV. It runs on Windows and Linux,you can put it on your computer.
Tutorials
- A simple example for
reading, displaying, converting to grayscale image, using OpenCV and Ch. The C code color2gray.c
and the JPEG image fruit.jpg
can be downloaded.
- A Hough transform demo can
be found here.
Marks
Two midterms, one close to reading week, second at end of term; each in class, and each worth 25%, the assingments are 50%.
Assignments
There will be four of five assignments
