SYDE677 - Computer Vision

Course Description

This course introduces the fundamental concepts for computer vision which include conventional topics such as sensing and image formation; early processing; image segmentation, 2-D and 3-D shape representation, analysis and synthesis; recognition and location of objects; automated visual inspection; robotic vision. The application of machine intelligence technologies for developing innovative computer vision algorithms will be a major focal point of the course...» Course Outline
