Learning Outcomes
Knowledge: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to describe how specific, selected computer vision problems are addressed in the relevant literature. Comprehension: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student has achieved an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of solving specific computer vision problems and is able to explain the reasons that make these mechanisms sufficient to solve other problems. Application: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to reuse existing methodologies and tools in order to produce other solutions for solving specific versions of specific computer vision problems or developing applications. Analysis: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to make a critical view of specific problems and perceive them as a synthesis of a series of individual subproblems. Composition: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to combine individual tools and methodologies in order to succeed in solving complex computer vision problems. Assessment: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to measure/quantify the quality of computer vision problem solutions and compare these solutions against other existing ones.
