About the Course

By the end of this course, learners will understand what computer vision is, as well as its mission of making computers see and interpret the world as humans do, by learning core concepts of the field and receiving an introduction to human vision capabilities. They are equipped to identify some key application areas of computer vision and understand the digital imaging process. The course covers crucial elements that enable computer vision: digital signal processing, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Topics include color, light and image formation; early, mid- and high-level vision; and mathematics essential for computer vision. Learners will be able to apply mathematical techniques to complete computer vision tasks. This course is ideal for anyone curious about or interested in exploring the concepts of computer vision. It is also useful for those who desire a refresher course in mathematical concepts of computer vision. Learners should have basic programming skills and experience (understanding of for loops, if/else statements), specifically in MATLAB (Mathworks provides the basics here: https://www.mathworks.com/learn/tutorials/matlab-onramp.html). Learners should also be familiar with the following: basic linear algebra (matrix vector operations and notation), 3D co-ordinate systems and transformations, basic calculus (derivatives and integration) and basic probability (random variables). Material includes online lectures, videos, demos, hands-on exercises, project work, readings and discussions. Learners gain experience writing computer vision programs through online labs using MATLAB* and supporting toolboxes. * A free license to install MATLAB for the duration of the course is available from MathWorks....

Lays a good foundation for Computer Vision. There should be more programming examples as some of the labs were beyond the scope of what was taught in the videos, especially the last one.

Theoretical concepts were good but lacking practical concepts. Also ,they should have told the basic of matlab used in assignments. There were only theoretical videos and not a single video on how to write program in matlab. Actually they did't even mention matlab. Only time I found matlab is involved in course when I opened the assignment. Luckily I knew some basic matlab but couldn't be able to understand image processing in matlab much. I had to figure out all by my self using online article.

Course Material is honestly worth it, however, the assignments are either handfed to the learner or have to be discovered through a myriad of ways. Mostly, the students end up helping each other with almost no response from the instructors or the teaching staff. This course definitely has imparted immense learning material to me, and I definitely have to say I have a better understanding than previously, however, the assignments and quizzes either felt under-par or overtly exaggerated

As the name of the course, just the basics are covered here. I felt that a little more of MATLAB practice would have been better. This course becomes boring with only theoretical knowledge and can be improved by including more MATLAB problems. Overall, it was a good course but not that helpful for people with image processing background as there is nothing new to learn here. However, this course can help to remind you the basics you have read in the beginning of image processing.

Very quick course. I didn't feel like I learned that much. I would have appreciated if the assignments included more complex tasks, but mostly they just involve learning how to use a couple specific functions. I do feel like I gained a basic idea of what computer vision is and how it's used and the last assignment was a bit more interesting.

Pretty superficial. It's really hard for beginners with no knowledge about compuer vision to figure out most of things. The worst thing focus was on something abstract instead of practice, so to hendle submissions in Matlab more time has been spent than supposed (new in Matlab)

Week 1-3 is pretty basic, good content, but the MATLAB is already done, but with mistakes you have to correct, and sometimes the "feedback" is more confusing Week 4 is super basic, but the MATLAB is super incomplete with not a really good explanation on what you need to do

The theory is fine. But I was not able to pass 2nd week MATLAB online validation for 10 days and no mentor support for this time. The other trainees were not helpfull for these 10 day until 1 guy finally showed me where my mistake was.

Really nice background and introduction for getting started with computer vision. But the course was too shallow. Nice to see MATLAB Grader used here. I did expect to get more theory and hands on experience from this course.

The assignments are not taught in the course, I did a lot of time doing self-research to complete the tasks. Hope the courses provided more details since this is a course and we want to learn with a precise guide.

I would have preferred if there was some implementation of the Matlab from lecturers in front of us by solving some examples.

And I would have preferred if there was more expansion in the stereo vision

The lectures were very interesting and helpful. however, they were not synchronized with the examinations. I felt like the quizzes and math lab oriented programming were separated courses.

The mathematical part in week 4 should be explained by the mentors in a video format that could have been more benificial for learners.Apart from that overall course structure is great.

Very basic course to introduce the Computer Vision to the students who are beginners.

It will be very good if you take this course to the advanced level with a specialization.

Thank you

The course doesn't really cover contents. It's just a introductory course to tell you what computer vision deal with. Not recommended if you need to know the theory and modelling.

It is really very basic. Needs to have more practical aspects, including some descriptions or explanations of good projects in the field. However, it is crisp and concise.

It is nice as an introduction, but does not provide in-depth understanding about computer vision. I guess, there is still other course that is continuation of this course.

There is no any lectures about how to use MATLAB in computer vision,so it was difficult for such students like me who don't know MATLAB properly.It need to be updated

More content on the relevant mathematics please.

Assignments are not relevant to what is being taught.

Though, assignments are a good learning opportunity here.

I faced too many problems while solving the Assignments and felt that it was a bit tough course in the name of basics; at least for me.

Introduced new concepts without going very much into details. The material that was taught and exercises didn't match at any level.

Good high level overview of CV basics.

Very poor support (none) from teachers. Videos lacking the examples they refer to!

It's too basic course. Little more programming exercise and the mathematical part needed. Last week is just kind a joke.

I felt like this course could have gone into more detail about the coding assignments and done more practical exercises
