Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Many challenges in Computer Vision and in other domains of research can be formulated as variational methods.
Exemples include denoising, deblurring, image segmentation, tracking, optical flow estimation, depth estimation from stereo images or 3D reconstruction from multiple views.
In this class, the basic concepts of variational methods will be introduced :
- The Euler-Lagrange calculus and partial differential equations
- Formulation of computer vision and image analysis challenges as variational problems
- Efficient solution of variational problems
- Discussion of convex formulations and convex relaxations to compute optimal or near-optimal solutions in the variational setting
The key concepts will be implemented in Matlab to provide hands-on experience.
Learning Outcome
They are able to efficiently solve variational problems and to implement the solution with Matlab.
