Course
Description: This
course is designed to introduce to the graduate students advanced 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.
Reading
Requirements: Students
are required to come prepared to every class with the material discussed in the
previous class.
Reference Book:
1. Computer Vision by Linda G Shapiro, and George Stockman Publisher: Prentice
Hall; 1st edition (January 23, 2001) Language: English ISBN-10: 0130307963
ISBN-13: 978-0130307965.
Attendance
Policy: In
view of the continuous evaluation strategy adopted by the instructor, perfect
attendance is recommended for those aspiring to get good grades. . It is important
that you communicate with the professor and the instructional team prior to
being absent, so you, the professor, and the instructional team can discuss and
mitigate the impact of the absence on your attainment of course learning
goals. Please inform the professor and instructional team if you are
unable to attend class meetings because you are ill, in mindfulness of the
health and safety of everyone in our community. If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms
testing/symptoms.html) please seek medical attention from the Student Health
and Wellness Center (940-565-2333 or askSHWC@unt.edu) or your
health care provider PRIOR to coming to campus. UNT also requires you to
contact the UNT COVID Team at COVID@unt.edu for guidance
on actions to take due to symptoms, pending or positive test results, or
potential exposure.
Grading Policy: The
graduate students will have a different set of examinations with less problem
solving and more theory and algorithms whereas the focus of undergraduate
examinations will be on problem solving. The
break-up for overall grading is as follows.
Assignments/Quizzes/Class
Tests: 70, and Project: 30. Grades A, B, C, D, and F will be assigned,
typically but not necessarily, depending upon whether the total tally will be
greater than/equal to 90, 80-89, 70-79, 60-69, or less than 60, respectively.
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.

Statement
regarding Disabled Students: The University of North Texas makes reasonable academic
accommodation for students with certified disabilities (cf. Americans
with Disabilities Act and Section 504, Rehabilitation Act). Students seeking reasonable accommodation must first
register with the Office of Disability Access (ODA) to verify their
eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide you with a
reasonable accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private
discussion regarding your specific needs in a course. You may request
reasonable accommodations at any time; however, ODA notices of reasonable
accommodation should be provided as early as possible in the semester to avoid
any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of
reasonable accommodation for every semester and must meet with each faculty
member prior to implementation in each class. Students are strongly encouraged
to deliver letters of reasonable accommodation during faculty office hours or by
appointment. Faculty members have the authority to ask students to discuss such
letters during their designated office hours to protect the privacy of the
student. For additional information, refer to the Office of Disability Access website (http://www.unt.edu/oda). You may also contact ODA by phone at (940) 565-4323.
Inclusive Learning
Environment and Support for Your Success
I value the many perspectives students bring to our campus. Please work with me to create a classroom culture of open communication, mutual respect, and inclusion. All discussions should be respectful and civil. Although disagreements and debates are encouraged, personal attacks are unacceptable. Together, we can ensure a safe and welcoming classroom for all. If you ever feel like this is not the case, please stop by my office and let me know. We are all learning together
Final Exam Date and Time: There will be no final exam.
