Course Description

This advanced elective course is designed to introduce to the senior undergraduate students mathematical principles of computer vision. Binary image processing with techniques of mathematical morphology, grey level image processing with various filters, color fundamentals and texture representation and recognition will be discussed.  Advanced topics such as content based image retrieval, shape form X-techniques, 2D/3D object recognition and matching will also be discussed. A programming project on one of the topics will be included in this course.

Attendance Policy:     In view of the continuous evaluation strategy adopted by the instructor, perfect attendance is recommended for those aspiring to get good grades.

Grading Policy:   The undergraduate students will have a totally different set of examinations with emphasis on problem solving rather than theory and algorithms, vis-a-vis the graduate students.  The break-up for overall grading is as follows. 

Assignments/Quizzes/Class Tests: 50, Project: 30, and Final Examination: 20. Grades A, B, C, D, and F will be assigned, respectively, depending upon whether the total tally will be greater than/equal to 90, 80-89, 70-79, 60-69, or less than 60.

Academic Dishonesty: Honesty is the best policy. Cheating will not be tolerated. Anyone found guilty of cheating on a test or assignment will be awarded an F grade for the course. Discussions of problems and assignment with your classmates is welcome and encouraged, however, sharing of solutions is not. If you need help, you should ask the instructor. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, all forms of plagiarism and misrepresentation. For your rights and responsibilities please refer to http://www.unt.edu/csrr

Statement regarding Disabled Students: The Faculty of Electrical Engineering including this instructor cooperates with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) to make reasonable accommodations for students with certified disabilities (cf. Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504, Rehabilitation Act). If you have not registered with ODA, we encourage you to do so immediately and present a written accommodation request along with an appropriate documentation from the Dean of Students Office http://www.unt.edu/oda/, on or before the 2nd week of class.

Final Exam Date and Time: TBD.
