Learning outcomes of the course unit

An absolvent of the course is able to design and to implement algorithms and methods for processing of an image data, pattern recognition and dynamic scene analysis.

Prerequisites

The knowledge on the level of the Bachelor's degree is required in the Computer Vision course.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods include lectures and computer exercises. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Midas) system. Students have to write a single project/assignment during the course.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Weekly laboratory exercises (20 pts), projects (20 pts) and a final exam (60 pts) are evaluated during the Computer Vision course. For successful pass the course, obtaining of at least half of available points is required in all mentioned parts.
