Image processing, analysis and synthesis
Module coordinator: Adrien BOUSSEAU
Lecturers: Adrien BOUSSEAU, George DRETTAKIS, Frédéric PRECIOSO, Rachid DERICHE, Théo PAPADOPOULO
Description:
- 6 ECTS
This course is divided in 4 parts that cover the basic concepts of computational imagery. Each part is composed of a set of lectures and lab exercises.
- Machine Learning for Computer Vision (Frederic Precioso, 12h – 6h lecture and 6h lab): basic image transformations (histogram equalization, mean-shift filtering and tracking), classifiers and boosting, face detection, neural networks.
- Advanced Computational Image Processing (Rachid Deriche, 12h – 6h lecture and 6h exercises): linear & non-linear image filtering, edge detection and image features, snakes & geodesic active contours via level-set, image enhancements & restoration, segmentation & application to medical imaging.
- 3D Computer Vision (Théodore Papadopoulo, 12h): camera model, calibration, stereo vision, mosaicing, 3D reconstruction, elements of 3D shape representation.
- Computer Graphics (Adrien Bousseau, George Drettakis, 18h – 10h lecture and 8h lab): raytracing and rasterization, lighting, texturing, shadows, image-based rendering, OpenGL and GPU programming.
Grading
The evaluation will be based on three grades:
- Short exams (10-20 mins) and lab exercises. Short exams in Advanced Computational Image Processing and in 3D Computer Vision, lab exercises in Computer Graphics and in Machine Learning for Computer Vision.
- Project. One project in Advanced Computational Image Processing or Computer Graphics. Students with express their preferences over a list of projects and we will assign one project per student.
- Long exam. One long exam that covers 3D Computer Vision and Machine Learning for Computer Vision.
Prerequisites
Basics of programming (C++) and mathematics (linear algebra, geometry)
