COMP 6003 Computer Vision

Coordinator Manas Patra Opens in new window

Description Computer vision uses artificial intelligence to train computers to interpret and understand visual images. Through the information that is derived, computer systems can make decisions and take actions. The amount of visual information today from digital devices and cameras along with improved technology has enabled considerable advances in automated image interpretation. In this subject students learn the state-of-the-art technologies of image processing and computer vision through practical activities. Computer vision is used, and has the potential to be used, in a range of industries, in novel ways. This presents a unique opportunity to students completing this subject.
