Machine Vision

FSI-VSV Acad. year: 2020/2021 Winter semester

The course is aimed at a digital photography fundamentals and processing of digital images within computer vision systems. The course focus at the specifics of the computer vision in terms of lighting and capturing of scenes.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

5

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Understanding of basic principles of digital image capturing and processing. Ability to analysis real world problems, to select appropriate hardware for this problem, and to design and implement adequate software.

Prerequisites

Expected to have basic knowledge of algorithms, programming, and of fundamental concepts in mathematics and physics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

In order to be awarded the course-unit credit, students must prove 100 % active participation in laboratory exercises. The exam is oral where student compiles two main themes which were presented during the lectures.

Aims

The goal of the course is understanding of the principles of digital image capturing and processing by students, within the context of industrial and scientific applications.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is obligatory and checked. Absences can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or at the end of semester within a special seminar.
