16-385 Computer Vision
Instructor: Kris Kitani
Time: Tuesday, Thursday 12:00PM - 1:20PM
Location: WEAN HALL 5403
Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to computer vision. Major topics include image processing, detection and recognition, geometry-based and physics-based vision and video analysis. Students will learn basic concepts of computer vision as well as hands on experience to solve reallife vision problems.

This course requires familarity with linear algebra and basic probability. MATLAB will be used for project assignments and will be covered as part of the introduction to the course.

Prerequisites: (18202 and 15122) or (21240 and 21241 and 21259 and 15122).
