COMP 4900D: Introduction
to Computer Vision
Winter 2012
|
Lectures: Tuesday and Thursday, 4:05pm - 5:25pm, 219 Tory
My Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 2:30pm - 4:00pm, 5331 HP
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 30%, the assingments are 40%.
Assignments
There will be four of five assignments
All the lectures for the second half of the course can be downloaded in one zip file here
