Visual Computing
AI & FinTech / AI & Media
Visual Computing concerns the analysis and synthesis of images and videos. Understanding images is an AI problem, and the field has grown substantially because of the confluence of big data, powerful hardware, and machine learning. Applications are everywhere: face detection in digital cameras, optical character recognition for text translation, diet apps in smartphones, etc.
In this course, you will learn the basics of visual computing, including: image processing & synthesis, object recognition. You will learn through lectures and hands-on sessions, culminating in a final group project.
At the end of the course, you will:
Open to Year 3 or above students
