FEKT-MPC-POVAcad. year: 2025/2026

The Computer Vision course addresses methods for acquisition and digital processing of an image data. The main parts of the course are technical equipments, algorithms and methods for image processing.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

The knowledge on the level of the Bachelor's degree is required in the Computer Vision course. Moreover, knowledge and skills equivalent to BZSV course are required.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

In the subject Computer Vision, laboratory exercises (40 points) and a final written (49 points) and oral (11 points) exam are evaluated. The written part lasts 90 minutes, no aids. The condition for admission to the exam is a credit from the exercises, ie attendance at all exercises and gaining at least 50% of points. The condition for passing the exam is to gain at least 50% of points from the final written part. Oral examination is optional.
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.

Aims

An absolvent is able to describe algorithms for image processing and to implement them into an superordinate system of computer vision.
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.
