ContentsOverviewComputer Vision has emerged as a key discipline in computer science. Stemming from Artificial Intelligence(AI) with the ultimate goal to understand Human Vision as one of the most powerful human senses it made a long way to what it is nowadays. We are witnessing a big come back of Computer Vision to its roots "Artificial Intelligence" in the recent years. Recent boost in Machine Learning and Deep Learning powered by incredible computational power of modern GPUs and profiting from massive amount of digital data clearly changed the way how CV research is done at the moment and what impact it has on the society. 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. Almost all big technology companies are at on the edge with Computer Vision, AI and machine learning nowadays. 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 object detection and recognition techniques which proved to be widely used in the past and in current Computer Vision research. 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. The course will address both hand crafted features and learned features with deep learning approaches. So it will be mixture of established and emerging methods for object detection, recognition and pose estimation. In the end, the students will have a thorough description of the most important object detection and pose estimation 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. |
Announcements
Exercise projectsThe project will be done in MATLAB, C++ and Python and students are expected to do them on their own computer/laptop. They will consist of three projects that will include one or several topics presented at the lectures. The projects will be presented to the students during the exercise sessions, where they will be instructed how to do the projects. Each project is divided into a number of exercises and each of them corresponds to a homework which will be graded. In total all homework exercises will result in one exercise grade. The deadlines for the submissions of the results of the homeworks will be announced via Moodle. Students have to make groups of up to FOUR students. If you are looking for a (TDCV) partner tell us and we will assign you one! During the the presentation of the results for each project each group will have 10 min to present their solution, and also run the code live. This will be followed by questions from the tutors (~ 10min). 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 project results presentation! If you have questions, ask them beforehand during the exercise sessions.RegistrationYou are required to register via TUMOnline for the course. In case you are on the waiting list you will automatically be registered as soon as some of the registered students deregister. We kindly ask registered students who do not intend to attend the course and take the exam to deregister and make space for those on the waiting list.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 object detection, recognition and pose estimation 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. However, strong knowledge in linear algebra and calculus will make much easier to follow the course. Moreover, due to large part of the course is dedicated to project homeworks and implementations in MATLAB, C++ and python it is necessary to have good knowledge of at least two of the programming languages. |
