Course Description

This course serves as an introduction to 2-D and 3-D computer vision. Topics include: principles of image formation; edge and feature detection; segmentation and clustering; feature recognition; feature tracking and optical flow; camera calibration; stereo-based scene reconstruction; photometric stereo; and image-based rendering and modeling.

Prerequisites

The only prerequisite is CS216. This course will require programming (in C, C++, and/or Matlab), as well as some background in data structures and linear algebra. Experience with signal processing, statistics, and/or computer graphics is useful but not necessary.

Textbook

Introductory Techniques for 3-D Computer Vision by Emanuele Trucco and Alessandro Verri. We will also read a few research papers.

Grading

There will be four programming assignments each worth 17.5% of your grade and a final project worth 30%.
