Registration is closed.About the Course:
The lab course is designed to teach basic 3D computer vision algorithms with hands on practical examples from robot vision, augmented reality, and special effects for movies. The first weeks will be exercises which provide the basic skills in 3D Computer vision, like main algorithms in mono and stereo vision. The second part will be about computer graphics, particularly geometric modelling, animation and advanced special effects (e.g. adding fire or explosions ). The third part is about general editing of video streams required for producing professional looking movies. The final assignment is a self-contained project, like a video augmentation of short clips, rendering virtual persons into a scene or the famous "Matrix" effect from the cinema.This class is inspired by a similar one offered by Prof. Irfan Essa at Georgia Tech. College of Computing, who provided us with information and support for establishing this new and exciting tradition at TUM.

| Abstract: | The lab course is designed to teach the mathematical background of 3D computer vision with hands on practical examples form robot vision, augmented reality, and special effects for movies. The first weeks will be exercises which provide the basic skills in 3D Computer vision, like main algorithms in mono and stereo vision. The second part will be about computer graphics, particularly geometric modelling, animation and advanced special effects (e.g. adding fire or explosions ). The third part is about general editing of video streams required for producing professional looking movies. The final assignment is a self-contained project, like a video augmentation of short clips, rendering virtual persons into a scene or the famous "Matrix" effect from the cinema. It is complementary to the lecture 3D computer vision I in the winter terms which are of great benefit, but not compulsory. Visiting the lecture 3D computer vision II in the summer term is also recommended. |
