Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:

1. Express a consolidated and extended understanding and knowledge of Computer Vision techniques.

2. Compare, critically evaluate and discuss competing methods.

3. Explain the problems, techniques and difficulties associated with the different areas of Computer Vision.

Brief description

The module will introduce the subject of Computer Vision in the context of robotics, in particular mobile and industrial robotics. It will start with low-level vision such as edge detection, feature detection, and segmentation. Intermediate vision will describe various techniques to infer 3 dimensional information from images. Some high-level techniques will be introduced

Content

Foundations of vision: Image acquisition, sources of noise, human visual perception, and the evaluation and design of visual computing systems.

Edges and features: The image as landscape, edge detection, feature detection and representation, appearance as feature.

Motion: The video as a 3D dataset, feature tracking, background subtraction, modelling motion and change.

Objects: Grouping features, grouping motion, modelling variability. Learning models.

3D: Shape from X (shading, defocus, occlusion, photometric stereo). Multiview techniques (binocular, structure from motion). Direct 3D capture techniques (lidar, sonar).
