Lectures, Homeworks, Quizzes and Projects during the 14-week semester.
This course is an introduction to those areas of Artificial Intelligence that deal with fundamental issues and techniques of computer vision and image processing. The emphasis is on physical, mathematical, and information-processing aspects of the vision. Topics to be covered include image formation, edge detection and segmentation, convolution, image enhancement techniques, extraction of features such as color, texture, and shape, object detection, 3-D vision, and computer vision system architectures and applications.
The material is based on graduate-level texts augmented with research papers, as appropriate.

- It is entirely your responsibility to follow the policies.
- Please ask the instructor if you have questions.
Late Submission Policy
- Completed homework and project deliverables are to be submitted by their deadline (11:59pm).
- For homework, you will have up to 3 days to receive a grade reduced by 50%. No additional late days allowed
- Projects: You will be allowed a total of 3 days/partial day late submissions throughout the semester.
- For homework, each late day will reduce your grade by 50%, and for projects each late day beyond the 3 allowed will reduce your grade by 50%.
- No individual project/homework will be accepted after 3 days late.
Regrading Policy to Correct Grading Errors
- Assignments, quizzes and exams may be submitted for regrading to correct grading errors.
- Regrade requests are due no later than one (1) week after the scores are posted.
- Regrade requests must be clearly written and attached to the assignment.
- When work is submitted for regrade, the entire work may be regraded, which may result in a lower grade.
- Work done in pencil may not be considered for regrading.
Exam Policy
- No makeup exams will be given except in provably extreme circumstances.
- Notify your instructor 24 hours prior to the exam via e-mail if you are going to miss it. If it is medically impossible for you to give prior notice, please obtain a note from a physician detailing the period (and the reason) you were medically incapable of communicating with the instructor.
- If you miss an exam/quiz because of sickness or similar reasons, visit a physician and obtain a note detailing the period and the reason you were medically incapable of taking the exam/quiz.
- You are responsible for knowing about the exam date. Please plan your travel and other activities accordingly.
Grading Policy
- No "I" (Incomplete) will be given except under provably extreme circumstances.
- There is no grade negotiation at the end of the semester.
Disabilities
- If you have a diagnosed disability (physical, learning, or psychological) that will make it difficult for you to carry out the course work as outlined, or that requires accommodations such as recruiting note-takers, readers, or extended time on exams or assignments, please advise the instructor during the first two weeks of the course so that we may review possible arrangements for reasonable accommodations. In addition, if you have not yet done so, contact the Office of Disability Services.
All work must be your own
- Do not take the answers, words, ideas or research findings of other people as yours; cite and acknowledge properly, and develop your own ideas.
- No cheating
- According to departmental policy, any violation of academic integrity will result in a Failing Grade for the course, and termination of departmental financial scholarship.
- Tools will be used to check similarity. Similar submissions will result in Failing Grade for all involved parties.
- Use of a code from an online repository, e.g. Github, must include a proper and clearly visible attribution in your report.
