5. COURSE OBJECTIVES

To teach the fundamental concepts in computer vision and to prepare the student to design simple vision systems, to read

the literature, and to commence a research program in computer vision should he or she so desire. Topics include image

models, edge detection, feature extraction, shape representation, structural descriptions, object modeling, matching,

knowledge bases, perceptual organization, architectures, and depth perception. Practice in computer vision concepts and

system design is provided by a term project, conducted in teams and drawn from real-world applications. The project

requires a formal, written report and an oral presentation to the class.
