Description including Unit Aims

The aim of this unit is to give you an introduction to computational vision: the theory, principles, techniques, algorithms and applications. The unit is structured in terms of topics, each associated to a lecture, follow-up seminar and self-study. For each topic, we will cover the underlying theory, the practical challenges, important algorithms and example applications.

Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of the unit you will understand and be able to apply basic theoretical concepts and practical techniques used in image processing and computer vision.
