The course "Computer Vision” enables the students to understand basic, as well as advanced techniques of computer or machine vision that are used in machine interpretation of a world and environment, as well as in reconstruction 3D scenes in which machine works. Computer vision is basic building block of intelligent systems.

1. define concepts of computer vision and complex systems based on vision
2. explain and distinguish porocedures, methods and algorithms related to image processing and computer vision.
3. apply methods from the computer vision for robot vision applications
4. analyze and breakdown problem related to the computer vision or robot vision system
5. design and develop the computer or robot vision system for the specific application
6. evaluate quality of solution of the system based on computer vision

Classes are held in two phases - each 7 weeks. Classes are conducted over 15 weeks with a weekly load of two hours. After each phase, ie, in the 8th week of lectures and 15th week of lectures exames are held.Week immediately prior to the exams is scheduled for problem solving and illustrations of procedures.

Knowledge checking is done by written examination twice in a semester.

Consultations are planned for 2 hours per week.

Groups of 4 to 5 students receive project tasks. The group solves problem, implements the program solution and presents it to the colleagues.
