The goal of computer vision is to understand the three-dimensional world from 2D images. Problems include extracting interesting features from images, enhancing images, recognizing and locating objects in images, estimating the motion of objects in video sequences, and computing 3D properties of the world from images. This course will provide an introduction to computer vision, including topics such as feature detection, pattern recognition, visual learning, object recognition, image segmentation, image stitching and mosaicing, motion estimation, color, texture, and applications such as content-based image retrieval, tactile graphics, and computer vision for Mars exploration.
Note about office hours: If it's impossible for you to make it to scheduled office hours, you can usually arrange an appointment with the TA or instructor. Just send an email requesting a meeting.
