Geometry for Computer Vision 2010 (6hp)
The course starts with two lectures on basic projective, and epipolar geometry. The remaining six lectures cover a selection of more recent techniques and methods that are widely used in the Computer Vision community.
These six lectures are each accompanied by a scientific paper that should be read by the participants before the lecture.
Literature
Where possible the lectures are based on the book:
"Multiple View Geometry in Computer Vision" by Hartley and Zisserman
. About half the content is however not covered by the book, and is instead based on a number of research papers that will be made available to the course participants.
