A Computer Vision Sampler
This course explores concepts in visual recognition, visual motion analysis, and visual reconstruction through a sample of techniques. There will be lectures, homework, and two exams.
The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 9:45 am in room B101 (the Love Auditorium) of the Levine Science Research Center (LSRC) Building.

A typical computer vision task is to segment images, that is, to specify which of a predetermined set of categories each image pixel belongs to. Categories are as follows in this example: Yellow: building. Red: vehicle. Green: vegetation. Purple: road. Blue: none of the above.
Other tasks may require knowing where certain objects are in a 3D reference system tied to the camera, or which way and how fast something is moving in a video.
There are plenty other applications and tasks in computer vision. We look at some of these in the first lecture.
