What is Computer Vision?

Computer vision, sometimes called image understanding, describes the automatic deduction of the structure and the properties of a possibly dynamic three-dimensional world from either a single or multiple two-dimensional images of the world. The images maybe monochromatic or colored, they may be captured by a single camera or mutliple cameras, and each camera may be either stationary or mobile [ Nalwa, 1993 ].

This Class

The major theme of this class is Motion-Based Recognition and Video Understanding.  Motion-based recognition deals with the identification of the objects or the motions of the objects, based on motion parameters extracted from a video sequence.  In this class we will study motion estimation techniques and then undertake a detailed exploration of how such techniques can be used to recognze and track movements.  More emphasis will be paid to tracking human movements and activities, however, the methods dicussed can be generalized to other domains.
