The [course_title] course focuses on the fundamentals of image formation, camera imaging geometry, feature detection and matching. You will also learn multi-view geometry including stereo, motion estimation and tracking, and classification.
The basic methods for applications that include finding known models in images, depth recovery from the stereo, camera calibration, image stabilisation, automated alignment (e.g. panoramas), tracking, and action recognition will also be discussed in the course.
The purpose of the course is to teach the intuitions and mathematics of the methods so that you can differentiate between theory and practice in the problem sets.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
Certification
