Course project. Final report due April 23, 2012. See Announcements above for hand-in details.
Prerequisites
This is the second course in a two-semester squence.
You must have taken CPSC 505 (Image Understanding I) prior to
taking CPSC 525.
Familiarity with Matlab
will be needed to complete the homework assignments.
Requirements and Evaluation
There will be one or two initial programming assignments. In addition, each
student will be expected to complete an individual research project in
some area of computer vision.
A written project proposal will be required midway through the course as
well as a final written project report.
Each student will also have the option to give a
final project presentation to the class.
Grading will be weighted roughly
as follows: 25% homeworks; 10% class participation,
20% project proposal; 45% final project report.
