The University of Texas at DallasCS 4391: Introduction to Computer Vision |
Fall 2024 |
|
Course Overview
Key Topics: Computer Vision, Deep Learning.
Description: This undergraduate-level computer vision course focuses on theory and practice of computer vision (CV). We will provide in-depth overview of CV, including image formulation, image filtering and transformation, feature detection and matching, modern neural networks, various recognition problems such as image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, visual motion, 3D vision, and several advanced topics such as NeRF, visual representation learning, vision+language, and vision+audio.
Course Relevance: The course is relevant to students who want to understand and implement computer vision and deep learning techniques.
Course Goals: There are three primary course goals. First, the course aims to familiarize students with the fundamental concepts of image formulation, image processing, visual motion, classical feature detection and 3D vision. Second, the course helps students understand key components in modern deep learning-based computer vision. Third, through the assignments and final project, students have an opportunity to learn how to build practical computer vision systems.
