| Description: |
Students are introduced to computer vision techniques starting with
basic digital image processing. Concepts covered will include image
convolution, edge detection, and the Fourier and Wavelet transforms.
The course will also introduce students to video processing, including
camera calibration and concepts related to Augmented Reality,
including marker detection and camera homography.

Evaluation:
| % | Grade |
| 90-100 | A |
| 80-89 | B |
| 70-79 | C |
| 60-69 | D |
|
| Programming Assignments | 35% |
| Term paper | 10% |
| Final Presentation | 5% |
| Midterm Exam | 20% |
| Final Project | 30% |
|
| Assignments: |
Unless otherwise specified, these are individual
assignments, and must be strictly your own work and are not to
be shown to anyone else.
|
| Attendance: |
Roll will be taken for the first one or two weeks while
the class roll fluctuates. However, attendance is not required.
Absence, excused or not, does not change the responsibility for
assigned work.
Tests missed due to excused absences will normally result
in the test not being counted in the average grade (i.e., there will
normally be no makeup tests). An unexcused absence from a
test will normally result in a grade of zero for that test. Students
are expected to give at least one week advance notice for excused
absences.
|
| Academic dishonesty: |
The University policies on academic dishonesty apply.
Publicly-available code or other material may be freely used if
appropriately attributed. Each student is responsible for protecting
his or her files from access by others. Work that is essentially
the same and submitted without proper attribution is considered
to be a violation of academic dishonesty policy by all those
submitting the work, regardless of who actually did the work.
| |
| Class cancelation: |
Students are expected to wait for 15 minutes after
the class beginning time before leaving if the instructor is late.
| |
| Assignment late policy: |
Late assignments will be accepted but points will be
deducted according to the formula (3n)3 where
n is the number of days late. Example: assuming assignments
are due on Wednesday, the point deduction is as follows:
| Max points possible |
Day received |
Days late |
| 100 | Wed. | 0 (due date) |
| 73 | Thu. | 1 day late |
| 0 | Fri. | 2 days late |
Late assignments will receive lowest priority for grading and
returning.
