SYLLABUS 3D Computer Vision

• To introduce the fundamental problems of 3D computer vision. • To introduce the main concepts and techniques used to solve those. • To enable participants to implement solutions for reasonably complex problems. • To enable participants to understand basic methodology that is discussed in the computer vision literature. Computer Vision (following Tomaso Poggio, MIT) : Computer Vision, formerly an almost es-oteric corner of research and regarded as a field of research still in its infancy, has emerged to a key discipline in computer science. Vision companies have emerged and commercial applications become available, ranging from industrial inspection and measurements to security database search, surveillance, multimedia and computer interfaces. Computer Vision is still far from being a solved problem, and most exciting developments, discoveries and applications still lie ahead of us. Understanding the principles of vision has implications far beyond engineering, since visual perception is one of the key modules of human intelligence. 1 Who should attend this course?
