Class Description:
Comprehensive introduction to computer vision providing broad coverage including
low level vision (image formation, photometry, color, image feature detection),
inferring 3D properties from images (shape-from-shading, stereo vision, motion
interpretation) and object recognition. A companion course, CSE252B, Computer
Vision II is taught in the Winter quarter. 4 units.
Required Text:
“Computer Vision:
Algorithms and Applications”, Richard Szeliski, An online copy of the book, is available at: http://szeliski.org/Book/.
Supplemental Text:
"Computer vision: A Modern Approach," David
A. Forsyth, Jean
Ponce, Prentice Hall, ISBN: 0130851981
Prerequisites:
Linear algebra and Multivariable calculus (e.g., Math 20A & 20F),
programming, data structure/algorithms (e.g., CSE100). Probability can also be
useful.
Programming:
Assignments will include both written problem sets and programming assignments
in Matlab. Students can either purchase the Matlab student edition or use
copies available on University machines such as are available in the APE
Lab.
Grading:
Assignments: 60%
Final Exam: 40%
Late Policy:
Written homework will be due in class and accepted thereafter with a penalty of
10% per day starting from the due date. Programming assignments will
have a hand-in procedure described with the assignment, and also has a 10% per
day late penalty. No assignments will be accepted after the graded assignments
have been returned or the solutions have been released.
Homework 0 [Due 10/04]: Getting Started with Matlab
Homework 1 [Due 10/18]: Camera & Lens, Rigid Transformations and Homography
Homework 2 [Due 11/03]: Radiometry and Photometric Stereo
Homework 3 [Due 11/22]: Epipolar Geometry and Sparse Stereo Matching
Homework 4 [Due 12/03]: Optical Flow and Video Stabilization
Input Images: hw4_images.zip
There is no class on the due date so just put the hard copy part of your submission in Andrew's mailbox (CSE Building, 2nd floor) by the due date at 9:00 am
