Walk through Computer Vision Techniques for Graphics (Proseminar)
Computer vision aimed to make a computer understand and interpret what it sees. During the last years these research have been applied to many fields : Medicine, Automation&, Cars, Games, Movies, ... During this seminar the students will have to study and present some computer vision methods, that are used in graphics and entertainment industry. We will study some texture Synthesis method, image stitching, 3d reconstruction. These seminar will be held in English, which give a real opportunity for the students to use the language skills in public.
