Readings in

Visual Recognition

Summary:
Overview of the literature in visual recognition from a computational
perspective. The students attending the class will read and present the
most significant papers with the aim to understand:
  • taxonomy of recognition problems
  • main computational approaches
  • current open problems
Possible outcomes of the class are a paper surveying the literature in
a specific area, the implementation of published algorithms and variations
thereof, a psychophysical experiment, the collection of image databases
for testing algorithms and human subjects.
Organization: The class will meet for three hours every week. Each week a small number
of related papers will be presented and discussed by students attending
the class. Each student will have to present a subset of the papers in
the reading list. The final grade will depend on: bi-weekly homework,
final essay, presentations. Projects may be pursued for credit during the
winter quarter.probabilistic modelling will be developed in class.
