| Summary | *This course has been replaced by 'Advanced Vision INFD11002 from 2019/20*
*This course is available to distance learning students within the School of Informatics and students on the Data Science, Technology and Innovation programme.*
The main aim of the course is to give students who already have had an introduction to images and image processing a deeper understanding of the main concepts in 2D image, 3D image and video data processing. |
| 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 or analysing several vision systems during the course of the lecture series and practicals. The 6 systems are for: rigid 2D part recognition, deformable 2D part recognition, rigid 3D part recognition from stereo data, rigid 3D part recognition from range sensing, target detection and tracking in video, and video based behaviour classification.
