Computer Science 370 - Intro to Computer Vision

This introductory computer vision class will address fundamental questions about getting computers to "see" like humans. We investigate questions such as -What is the role of vision in intelligence? -How are images represented in a computer? -How can we write algorithms to recognize an object? -How can humans and computers "learn to see better" from experience? We will write a number of basic computer programs to do things like recognize handwritten characters, track objects in video, and understand the structure of images.

Open to Undergraduate Students only. PreReq:CMPSCI 240 or 383 w/C A background in linear algebra is recommended.
