Course Description

Introduction to various methods of image formation and analysis. Image formation includes monocular imaging system, projections, camera model calibration, and binocular imaging. Image analysis covers various low-level vision techniques, segmentation and representation techniques, and high-level vision techniques.

This Semester's Offering

During this Semester there will be assigned readings assigned from our text and from various external readings (journal papers). Homework assignments will be given (about one per week). There will also be several programming projects (to be completed using various programming tools including the image algebra C++ library). A midterm examination will be held on 19 October 1994, and the final examination will be held at the time scheduled in the Course Booklet for this semester.

Course information will be provided via the World-Wide Web and the Mosaic hypermedia browsing tool from the URL http://www.cis.ufl.edu/~jnw/VisionCourse/.
