Introduction to Computer Vision Lecture
Our dream to make machines sense and perceive (notably see) comes true: nowadays Computer Vision enables diverse applications:
-Autonomous Systems (cars, drones, vessels) Perception,
-Robotics Perception and Control,
-Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction,
-Anthropocentric (human-centered) Computing,
-Smart Cities/Buildings and Assisted living.
Computer Vision, coupled with AI (notably Machine Learning and Deep Neural Network) advances hit the news almost every day.
A detailed introduction to computer vision will be made: image/video sampling, Image and video acquisition, Camera geometry, Stereo and Multiview imaging, Structure from motion, Structure from X, 3D Robot Localization and Mapping, Semantic 3D world mapping, 3D object localization, Multiview object detection and tracking, Object pose estimation.
