Textbook

Computer Vision: Algorithms & Applications by Richard Szeliski; Springer (ISBN # 978-1848829343)

Major Topics Covered in Course
  • Computational algorithms and their implementation for the following applications: automatic inspection and measurement based on binary image processing (two-dimensional machine vision).
  • Gray-level image processing and analysis techniques (e.g. image segmentation, edge detection, image filtering, curve fitting).
  • Three-dimensional shape recovery through stereo image analysis.
  • Object recognition based on feature vector classification and template matching.
Laboratory
  • Image processing: mask-based filtering, median filtering, subsampling, edge-detection (2 weeks)
  • Feature detection, Morphing and Mosaicing images (2 weeks)
  • Stereo Reconstruction (2 weeks)
  • Final project. Select from suggested topcs (4 weeks)
