Course Description
Computer Vision was massively reshaped with recent advances in Deep Learning, which took over some of the most complex tasks and problems. On the other hand, Classical approaches for image analysis still play a dominant role in various real-world applications and can provide an important boost for the design of Deep Learning pipelines.
This course will outline the CV fundamentals from a formation of image and role of the transformations to basic concepts in segmentation and tracking. On the other hand, we will try to link these Classical approaches to their siblings in Deep Learning to highlight when various methods may be more practical.
Course topics
Computer vision, Filters, Optical Flow, Deep Learning, Image Filtering, Tracking.
Course tools
Python, OpenCV.
