Computer Vision Methods

Course Description

This course is devoted to computer vision problems: Finding of correspondences between images using image features and their robust invariant descriptors, features matching, picture stitching, object and segment recognition in pictures or video, image retrieval and object tracking in the video sequences.

Pre-requisites

The computer vision methods course expects programming skills in Python and numpy computing environment. The programing assignments solving various computer vision methods are a substantial part of the labs. The attendee is expected to know basics of digital image processing as convolution, filtration, intensity transformations, image function interpolations and basic geometric transformations of the image (see the first lab). The attended is also expected to govern basics of linear algebra and probability theory.

Lectures: Monday 11:00-12:30, KN:E-126

Lecturers: JM Jiří Matas, JC Jan Čech, OD Ondřej Drbohlav, MS Milan Šulc
