Knowledge of Python and Pytorch is a must to complete the course practical assignments.

Courses, Learning and Teaching Methods and Literature

Courses and Schedule

Learning and Teaching Methods

The lectures will provide extensive theoretical aspects of neural networks and in particular deep learning architectures for the problems of object detection, segmentation and tracking.
The practical sessions will allow the students to get familiar with state-of-the-art algorithms (implemented in PyTorch) and the tricks of trainings them for the aforementioned Computer Vision tasks.

Media

Projector, blackboard, PC

Literature

Links will be provided during the lecture

Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

The exam takes the form of a written test. Questions allow to assess acquaintance with concepts and algorithms of deep learning for object detection, segmentation (both object as well as semantic) and multiple object tracking. Students demonstrate the ability to design, train, and optimize neural network architectures to solve these basic computer vision problems.

- Written test of 90 minutes at the end of the course.
- The students will be awarded a bonus in case they successfully complete all practical assignments. Their progress and/or final results will be presented in the form of a poster or an oral presentation.

Exam Repetition

The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester. There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.

Current exam dates

Currently TUMonline lists the following exam dates. In addition to the general information above please refer to the current information given during the course.
