Module aims

This module will introduce modern computer vision approaches, including discussion of the main applications and challenges. It will cover issues of image formation, camera geometry, feature detection, motion estimation and tracking, image classification and scene understanding, using a range of model-based approaches.

Module learning outcomes

  • Demonstrate a detailed understanding of the image formation process, its modelling in computer vision and its simulation in computer graphics

  • Describe and implement techniques for rendering images including modelling light/material interaction

  • Apply a range of methods for inferring 3D shape from images

  • Apply a range of modern machine learning methods for image understanding

  • Compare human and machine visual systems in the interpretation of images and graphics
