Course detail

Computer Vision Applications

FEKT-MAPVAcad. year: 2012/2013

Course acquaints with the most important problems of computer vision in technical practice –measuring of dimensions, position and orientation, inspection systems, OCR, 3D objects reconstruction, navigation, motion analysis etc. It introduces implementation of basic principles used in computer vision, parameters of classical and special means for image acquisition and processing. Subject matter is presented on real applications solved not only in academic (Group of computer vision UAMT) but also in commercial domain.
