The Computer Vision course addresses methods for acquisition and digital processing of an image data. The main parts of the course are technical equipments, algorithms and methods for image processing.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

An absolvent of the course is able to design and to implement algorithms and methods for processing of an image data, pattern recognition and dynamic scene analysis.

Prerequisites

The knowledge on the level of the Bachelor's degree is required in the Computer Vision course. Moreover, knowledge and skills equivalent to BZSV course are required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods include lectures and computer exercises. Course is taking advantage of e-learning.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

In the subject Computer Vision, laboratory exercises (40 points) and a final written (49 points) and oral (11 points) exam are evaluated. The written part lasts 90 minutes, no aids. The condition for admission to the exam is a credit from the exercises, ie attendance at all exercises and gaining at least 50% of points. The condition for passing the exam is to gain at least 50% of points from the final written part. Oral examination is optional.
