Homeworks

Depending on the complexity of the homework projects, students will from one to several weeks to solve the problems. Solutions will be checked in the following exercise session. Exact dates for every homework project will be announced on the website and said at the exercises.

Overview

Computer Vision, as a relatively young research area, has emerged as a key discipline in computer science. This is not only evident by a growing high competitive research community with the high impact factor in computer science, but also by the emerging of numerous Vision companies turning the research ideas into the numerous commercial applications. Besides well know studies of the 3D geometry and camera models, object tracking and detection in the images and videos become one of the principal research directions of the modern Computer Vision. The main objective of this course is to provide students with gradual introduction to the modern tracking, detection and recognition techniques developed in last 5 years. The course will provide in depth knowledge of image features, their detection and description, matching techniques, key-point recognition, basic and advanced tracking algorithms based on image features and image intensities, basics of structure from motion and bundle adjustment, synchronous localization and mapping algorithm, object detection and pose estimation using classification approaches and object recognition and image retrieval using bag of words approaches. In the end student will have thorough description of the most important tracking, detection and recognition techniques. They should be able to understand and implement those solutions and apply them in the reasonably complex problems. The concepts described in this course will be accompanied with the brief explanation of the necessary mathematical tools. The participants of this course will be given the necessary basis to follow vast and growing Computer Vision literature and use the acquired knowledge to solve new practical problems.

Who should attend this course?

Bachelor students at their last years and all Master students that are interested to learn about the modern and well established concepts and algorithms related to tracking, detection and recognition of Computer Vision or desire to use those techniques in their research.
Prerequisites: Most of the knowledge required should be part of the normal background in Computer Science and undergraduate/graduate Mathematics and Geometry.


Textbooks

For some basic concepts the textbook "Computer Vision: a modern approach" by David Forsyth and Jean Ponce, can be used. Also majority of topics can be found in a new book of Rick Szeliski from Microsoft Research available also on-line. However, since the majority of the topics is state-of-the-art, students will be also referred to the relevant publications provided before the course and can use the provided lecture notes.
