Machine Vision

The course contains the following topics:

• Fundamental image analysis
• Fundamental 3D modelling
• Practical use of standard libraries for machine vision
• Object recognition and tracking
• 3D reconstruction from stereo views
• Other topics required for achieving intended learning outcomes

Knowledge

• The candidate can explain fundamental mathematical models for digital imaging, 3D models, and machine vision.
• The candidate are aware of the principles of digital cameras and image capture.

Skills

• The candidate can implement selected techniques for object recognition, tracking and 3D reconstruction.

General competence

• The candidate has a good analytic understanding of machine vision and of the collaboration between machine vision and other systems in robotics.
• The candidate can exploit the connection between theory and application for presenting and discussing engineering problems and solutions.

Learning activities include lectures, tutorials and lab/project work.

A constructivist approach for learning is endorsed, with focus on problem solving and practical application of theory.
