This course will cover advanced concepts in computer vision, which are motivating a range of applications such as autonomous driving, augmented reality and language-based interaction. Example topics include tools like vision transformers and generative models, applications like object detection and 3D reconstruction, as well as areas of intersection with computer graphics and natural language.
This is an advanced class, covering recent developments in computer vision and will extensively refer to papers. Prior background in computer vision and machine learning is required, through research experience or as covered by CSE 252A, 252B, 250A, 251A, 251B, 251C, 272 and similar offerings. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor if unsure about meeting any criteria for enrollment.
This course will consist of lectures on a variety of topics. Students will be required to give a short presentation on an assigned paper, complete a project and take a final exam.
The goal of the course is to understand the current state of computer vision and gain appreciation of its limits and potential.
