Contents

The lecture deals with methods for content-based image processing

and video analysis. The following topics will be covered:

  • Basics of image and video processing
  • Machine learning
  • Basics of deep neural networks (CNN, LSTM)
  • cut detection
  • image recognition
  • similarity search
  • image segmentation
  • person recognition
  • Text spotting

Qualification Goals

The learning objective of the module is to understand and be able to apply the methods necessary for the content-based analysis of image and video data. These include methods of image and moving image processing and machine learning. After visiting the module, the listeners should be able to design and implement software systems for image recognition based on Deep Learning libraries (Caffe, Tensorflow, ...). In addition, the students practice scientific working methods by training their ability to abstract as well as recognizing, formulating and solving problems.


Prerequisites

None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Object-oriented Programming, Algorithms and Data Structures. In addition, programming experience in Python and C++ is recommended and basic knowledge of Linux is helpful.


Recommended Reading

  • Will be announced in the course.
