Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

The lecture provides a detailed description of methods and algorithms that are relevant in practice for solving robot vision and machine vision applications. The main focus of the lecture is the description of the methods and their basic principles. Practical examples show the typical applications in which the presented methods are used. The topics topics that are covered include:
- Feature extraction
- Classification
- Color image processing
- Identification (bar codes, OCR)
- Hand-eye calibration
- Object recognition

Learning Outcome

Participants of this lecture will have a thorough understanding of the theory, data structures, and implementation of the most important algorithms that are used in robot vision and machine vision. They are capable of analyzing and evaluating machine vision tasks and can use their knowledge and skills to create robot vision and machine vision applications.

Preconditions

IN2023 Image Understanding I: Machine Vision Algorithms;
basic knowledge of the following fields:
- linear algebra (linear transformations between vector spaces expressed in matrix algebra)
- calculus (in particular, sums and differentiation and integration of one- and two-dimensional functions)

Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

The exam takes the form of a written 60 minutes test. Application questions assess the ability to analyze, evaluate, and create realistic robot vision and machine vision applications. Knowledge questions assess the acquaintance with the algorithms of robot vision and machine vision as well as the suitability of the choice of algorithms to solve a particular application.

Exam Repetition

The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
