Knowledge:

This interdisciplinary course should give the candidate a deep understanding of machine vision with special focus on a case study in one of the following areas: Automation, Drone Technology, Medical Informatics & Imaging, Nautical Science, Process & Gas Technology, Remote Sensing, and Industrial Applications.

Skills:

• Candidate will build knowledge in image formation, cameras, and vision sensors.
• Candidate will learn about image processing operations such as filtering, edge detection and image segmentation.
• Candidate will also learn state-of-the-art methods for image analysis (i.e., pattern detection and recognition).
• Candidate should be able to use state-of-the-art image analysis methods in practical problems.
• Candidate will learn the use of correct visualization tools for the image analysis problems.
• The candidate should be able to understand and use the knowledge from machine vision in their selected domain.
• The candidate should be able to demonstrate their knowledge using MATLAB® or Python.

Coursework: Participation in workshops and laboratory work.

Examination:

One combined grade will be given based on case study report and oral exam.

Grading scale: Letter grading A - F, F is fail.

Continuation Examination: Students who have not passed - or have not submitted their reports in time due to legitimate reasons will be given an extended submission deadline in the following semester. 

The date for the exam can be changed. The final date will be announced at your faculty early in May and early in November.
