ContentsOverviewComputer Vision, as a relatively young research area, has emerged as a key discipline in computer science. This is not only evident by a growing and highly competitive research community with a high impact factor in computer science, but also by the emergence of numerous vision companies turning research ideas into a myriad of commercial applications. Besides well-known studies of 3D geometry and camera models, object tracking and detection in images and videos becomes one of the principal research directions of modern Computer Vision. The main objective of this course is to provide students with a gradual introduction to modern tracking, detection and recognition techniques developed in the last 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 algorithms as well as object detection using classification approaches. In the end, the students will have a thorough description of the most important tracking and detection techniques. They should be able to understand and implement those solutions and apply them in reasonably complex problems. The concepts described in this course will be accompanied with brief explanations of the necessary mathematical tools. The participants of this course will be given an important basis to follow the vast and growing Computer Vision literature and use the acquired knowledge to solve new practical problems.Who should attend this course?Bachelor students in their last years and all Master students that are interested in learning about the modern and well-established concepts and algorithms related to tracking, detection and recognition in 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, undergraduate/graduate Mathematics and Geometry. |
AnnouncementsThe![]() The exam inspection is going to be on Wednesday, 8 March, 11:00-12:30 in room 03.13.036. If you cannot make it then, we offer an additional session on Thursday, 2 March, 11:00-12:30 (please come to this session only if you cannot attend the other one). The summary of bonus points achieved this semester is available ![]() The MIDTERM RESULTS are now ![]() ![]() Exercises![]() RegistrationYou are required to register via TUMOnline (link)!HomeworkStudents will be given one week to solve the problems. The exact due dates for each homework are announced next to the exercises on this website and will be mentioned during the exercise sessions. Students have to make groups of TWO students and send the names to tdcv.tum@gmail.com. After that, those who didn't create groups will be associated to groups based on a random selection and will receive a notification about this. If you are looking for a (TDCV) partner tell us and we will assign you one! During the checking of the exercises each group will have at 15 min to be questioned to answer the questions. All members of the group will be questioned about the algorithms and their implementation, so only those who can prove that they understood both theory and practice will get the respective points. Thus, having a working exercise doesn't mean that everyone in the group is going to get full points. Please note that only exercises which work might get the maximal number of points. There will be no "debugging-correcting"-sessions for your solutions during the exercise reviews! If you have questions, ask them beforehand by either mail or in person. All homework should be submitted through e-mail at least one hour before the exercise session with the following format and information.
