This course introduces the main aspects of computational vision, from fundamentals on image formation and basic image operations until object recognition, going through the main problems of computer vision: segmentation,keypoint extraction, pattern recognition and face recognition. The classical and the latest state-of-the-art methods will be revised for the computer vision problems and methods will be used to solve some of these problems.

The course will be divided in a series of theory and practical sessions:
- Participatory theory sessions in which new concepts are introduced and discussed between students. Group discussion is strongly encouraged. Textbook chapters and research papers will be provided to facilitate debate and exchange of ideas.
- Practical sessions are devoted to solve problems, designing methods and developing prototypes. These sessions allow students to put into practice previously introduced concepts to gain further insight.
In principle, we expect to follow the in-person teaching model for the 2022-23 academic year.
Moreover, class material should use an inclusive language and include bibliographical references authored by women (and make them visible).
Evaluation methodology
Students will be assessed based on their work in practical tasks (delivery of practices in groups of 2 students) and a final exam of theory. The weighting of the final mark will be proportional to the respective workloads of the practical tasks and the final exam of theory. Final grade: 50% practicum grade and 50% final exam grade. In order to pass the subject, both parts (theoretical and practical) should be passed.
