Computer Vision 2

Carsten Rother, Michael Yang, Alexander Kirillov, Summer Semester 2016

 

The lecture computer vision 2 consists of lecture and practical exercises. The lecture is partitioned in three parts. The first part looks at general recognition tasks and scene understanding. In the second part, deep learning methods, e.g. CNN, are introduced. In the final part, Markov random fields are described in details and algorithms for segmenting objects in images are considered.

 

Lectures: Friday, 13:00 – 14:30, APB E006, Begin: 08. April 2016.
Exercise: Thursday, 11:10 – 12:40, APB E010 APB E069, Begin: 14. 21. April 2016.
Prerequisites: “Computer Vision 1”, good knowledge of maths (linear algebra, optimization), programming (C++).
Credits: 2/2/0, oral exam, Enrollment: jExam, Attendees: max. 60.
Note: Lectures are held in English with slides in English. There is one course book: “Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications” by Richard Szeliski which can also be found online: http://szeliski.org/Book.

 

Note on the oral exam:
The exercises are part of the exam; if you obtain at least half the achievable number of points in the exercises the questions that regard the exercise will concentrate around what you did, otherwise they will cover the whole set of exercise tasks.
