NDAK12002U Vision and Image Processing (VIP)
MSc Programme in IT and Cognition
Vision and Image Processing (VIP) gives a overview of modern vision techniques used in man and machine. Focus is both on conceptual understanding of the models and methods and on practical experience. The course covers state of the art methods for image analysis including how to solve visual processing tasks such as object recognition and content based image search and retrieval.
The course is not focused on providing a deep mathematical
understanding of the techniques, but will include the
mathematical background necessary to understand vision and image
processing.
Through a number of mandatory programming exercises the students
will develop simple programs and obtain solutions to non-trivial
vision tasks. After the course, the students will be able to
understand the models and principles of vision technologies used in
new products and applications.
This course is mandatory for students enrolled in the IT and Cognition MSc study programme and is an elective course for students enrolled in the MSc programme in Computer Science. The course content does not overlap with Signal and image Processing (MSc in Computer Science).
In order to pass, the student must document knowledge of the most common problems, methods and results in vision and image processing, specifically:
Knowledge
- Theoretical and practical knowledge of the current research within computer vision and image analysis
- Knowledge of common application areas
Skills
- The ability to read and apply the knowledge obtained by reading scientific papers
- The ability to convert a theoretical algorithmic description into a concrete program implementation
- The ability to compare computer vision and image analysis algorithms and assess their ability to solve a specific task
Competences
- Understanding and analyzing the main challenges in vision and image processing today
- Describing common applications of importance to society
- Describing and applying feature extraction methods and modeling techniques in image and vision processing
- Analyzing the main challenges in vision and image processing today.
