Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give students a firm understanding of the theory underlying the processing and interpretation of visual information and the ability to apply that understanding to ubiquitous computing and entertainment related problems. It provides them with an opportunity to apply their problem-solving skills to an area which, while it is firmly part of computer science/engineering, draws strongly from other disciplines (physics, optics, psychology). The course is based around problems so that the technology is always presented in context. During the course, students design solutions to real world problems using the techniques that they have been taught.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to design solutions to real-world problems using computer vision.
2   To be able develop working computer vision systems using MATLAB.
3   To be able to critically appraise computer vision techniques.
4   To be able to explain, compare and contrast computer vision techniques.
