  • Object recognition from images and videos

Readings/Bibliography

Richard Szeliski, Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications, 2nd ed., 2022

Teaching methods

  • Lectures
  • Guided exercises at the PC

Assessment methods

Learning results are assessed through a written test of 90 minutes, during which it is not allowed to use books, notes, or any electronic device. The examination aims to assess the achievement of the following learning objectives: 1) detailed knowledge of the algorithms and techniques discussed during the course; 2) ability to implement such algorithms and apply them in software programs; 3) understanding of the main functionalities of the class libraries used during the lab exercises. To this end, the written test contains both theoretical questions and practical exercises, which ask the student to implement algorithms or portions of algorithms, exploiting also some functionalities of the class libraries used during the lab exercises.
