Course Objective:
Computer vision becomes a very important aspect in various industries ranging from the process industry to
the medical field. In this course students will learn basic principles of image formation, image processing
algorithms and different algorithms for 3D reconstruction and recognition from single or multiple images
(video). This course emphasizes the core vision tasks of scene understanding and recognition. Applications to
3D modelling, video analysis, object recognition and vision based control will be discussed.

Introduce the student to analytical tools and methods which are currently used in digital image processing as
applied to image information for human viewing. Then apply these tools in the laboratory in image
restoration, enhancement and compression.
