Computer Vision — Andreas Geiger - Computer Vision - Lecture 1.1 (Introduction: Organization)

Lecture: Computer Vision (Prof. Andreas Geiger, University of Tübingen) Course Website with Slides, Lecture Notes, Problems and Solutions: https://uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaeten/mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche-fakultaet/fachbereiche/informatik/lehrstuehle/autonomous-vision/lectures/computer-vision/ The goal of computer vision is to compute geometric and semantic properties of the three-dimensional world from digital images. Problems in this field include reconstructing the 3D shape of an object, determining how things are moving and recognizing objects or scenes. This course will provide an introduction to computer vision, with topics including image formation, camera models, camera calibration, feature detection and matching, motion estimation, geometry reconstruction, object detection and tracking, and scene understanding. Applications include building 3D maps, creating virtual avatars, image search, organizing photo collections, human computer interaction, video surveillance, self-driving cars, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, simulation, medical imaging, and mobile computer vision. Modern computer vision relies heavily on machine learning in particular deep learning and graphical models. This course therefore assumes prior knowledge of deep learning (e.g., deep learning lecture) and introduces the basic concepts of graphical models and structured prediction where needed. The tutorials will deepen the understanding of deep neural networks by implementing and applying them in Python and PyTorch. A strong emphasis of this course is on 3D vision.
