Project course in Machine Vision 7.5 credits

About the course

The course is about an application within one or more of the subjects Image Analysis, 3d Reconstruction, and Pattern Recognition. The relevant topics and theory about a project management model, e.g. Scrum, are introduced initially, followed by a larger software development project. The design of the project varies from year to year. Examples of possible projects are:

Design an application that takes a set of images of a living room, builds a 3D model of it and visualizes it together with the IKEA bookcase "Billy" (or another piece of furniture).
Design an application that given a number of scanned itemized phone bills calculates the phone subscription plan that would be the cheapest.
Design an application that given a point cloud acquired by a laser scanner in a sparse forest, identifies trees and calculates their diameter at breast height.
Develop a method that given inputs such as digital images and/or 3D point clouds from a forest, detects trees and classifies tree species.
Identify and localize fruits in images using classifier fusion.
Analyze 3D images from a Kinect-camera and detect people, trees, shrubs, and stones.
