Dr. D. J. Lee
Human vision is natural and seems to be able to process visual information effortlessly. Human vision is able to detect, localize, and recognize specific objects. Human vision is able to perceive and understand surrounding 3-D world and use the 3-D information to accomplish many complicated tasks. However, computer mimicry of human vision is difficult and often impossible. The main properties of 3-D world are geometric and dynamic. The objectives of 3-D computer vision are to compute these properties from one or multiple digital images and to use them to mimic human vision. Basic image processing and feature detection techniques, camera models, geometry, and calibration, and geometrical models of single, two, and multiple view systems are three components of 3-D computer vision and they will be studied in this course.
This course requires extensive software programming work. Students lack of skill or background in any of the following areas should not take this course.
– C++ and Java programming experience
– Familiar with Visual Stuido and Android Studio programming enviroments
– Math and signal processing (ECEn 380)
– Computer Systems (ECEn 424)
– Real-Time Operating Systems (ECEn 425)
– Embedded Systems (ECEn 427)
Six main objectives of this course are
– Learn machine vision system design and applications
– Understand camera geometry and calibration
– Learn feature detection and tracking
– Extract 3-D information from single, two, and multiple views
– Estimate camera and object motion
– Learn to use OpenCV to implement real-time vision algorithms
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination against any participant in an educational program or activity that receives federal funds. The act is intended to eliminate sex discrimination in education. Title IX covers discrimination in programs, admissions, activities, and student-to-student sexual harassment. BYU's policy against sexual harassment extends not only to employees of the university but to students as well. If you encounter unlawful sexual harassment or gender based discrimination, please talk to your professor; contact the Equal Employment Office at 378-5895 or 367-5689 (24 hours); or contact the Honor Code Office at 378-2847.
