Overview


The course is directed towards advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. It will focus on applications of pattern recognition techniques to problems of machine vision.

The topics covered in the course will include:

  • Overview of problems of machine vision and pattern classification
  • Image formation and processing
  • Feature extraction from images
  • Biological object recognition
  • Bayesian Decision Theory
  • Clustering
  • Classification

Applications:

  • Object detection and recognition
  • Morphable models
  • Tracking
  • Gesture recognition

The course will have a strong hands-on component. Some additional reading from current research will be provided.
