CS 631T Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

  • Instructor: Prof. Sung-Hyuk Cha


  • CRN: 46101

  • Meeting:
    • Meeting Times: T 06:00 - 08:40 PM, Spring 2004
    • Place: 163 WM 1525

  • Textbook: TBA.

  • Description:
    This course introduces the student to computer vision algorithms, methods and concepts which will enable the student to implement computer vision systems with emphasis on visual pattern recognition. Upon successful completion of this course of study a student will have general knowledge of image analysis and processing, pattern recognition techniques, and some experience with research in computer vision.

    Topics to be studied: data structures for visual pattern representation, feature extraction, basian theory, decision trees, nearest neighbor, artificial neural networks, clustering, etc.

    The students, once completing the course, should be competent enough to conduct research in this area. The students will be required to critique a current paper from the literature in this area, present it to the class, implement the presented algorithm and evaluate the strengths and shortcomings.
