This course introduces the main aspects of computational vision, from fundamentals on image formation and basic image operations until scene recognition, going through the main problems in computer vision: segmentation, motion estimation, pattern recognition and object tracking. The latest state-of-the-art methods will be revised for the computer vision problems and methods will be developed to solve some of these problems.

Metodología docente

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.

Método de evaluación

Students will be assessed on in-class oral presentations and their work in practical assignments. Typically, marks for oral presentations will be awarded on an individual basis, whereas marks for practical assignments will be based on an assessment of the whole group (2 persons per grup). The weighting of the final grade will be proportional to the respective workloads of the two tasks and a final exam.
