3 Goal of Course Computer vision is a study attempting to understand and imitate biological vision systems, especially the human vision system, and focuses on the computational techniques of low, mid and high levels vision. This course covers a wide range of research problems encountered within computer vision and provides detailed algorithmic and theoretical treatments for each.
