Description

In this class, you will learn techniques used to interpret images and video and you will analyze and evaluate algorithms for various computer vision tasks. I hope to help you develop your toolbox that you will be able to use to develop creative solutions to visual problems in the class, your future studies, and your future career.

The applications we will cover are:
1.) object detection
2.) object recognition
3.) object tracking
4.) surveillance
5.) study of collective motion
6.) robot navigation
7.) video stabilization
8.) image mosaics

We will be using OpenCV with C++ and Visual Studio. The undergraduate lab machines are all configured with OpenCV 2.4.7 and Visual Studio 2012.

Lecture: Tuesday / Thursday 12:30 - 2 in MCS B33 (111 Cummington Mall)
Labs: Friday 11 - 12 and 2 - 3 in EMA 204 (CS Undergraduate Lab)

Remaining Homework due Tuesday, May 6

4/15/14 3:11 PM

Dear Students,

The two outstanding homeworks for the semester, HW 11 about multi-target tracking (assigned last Friday), and HW 12 about camera geometry (to be assigned this Friday) will both be due at midnight on May 6, the midnight before our final. To facilitate grading, this is a hard stop and late submissions will not be accepted.

Additionally, I will take the best 11 of 12 homeworks when computing everyone's grade.

Even though it is not due this week, please look at this web page and watch this 10-minute video lecture about the Fourier Transform before class on Thursday. http://www.thefouriertransform.com/#introduction
