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.

While the theoretical part of the course is OK, the labs which are in matlab are absolutely useless. Matlab is never mentioned during the course except in the labs so someone who hasn't used it ever is going to have to do a lot of googleing. There are also no graded quizes so passing the course completely depends on using Google to solve the matlab labs...

I also don't really see the relevance of the included labs to the theory that is thought. The labs are really basic stuff that doesn't have anything to do with computer vision but are only related to basic image manipulation.

The instructors are good but the objective of the course is not very clear. The lectures are theoretical but the exercise are too technical. I can only scrap my way through due to my generic programming experience (and maybe a bit of hard-coding) but I had to struggle a lot. Also, the course content is pushed too fast. While I understand that this is introductory, having too many concepts covered without explaining make things more confusing.

The course videos are an interesting introduction into computer vision. Because this course includes a license to use matlab, I found the matlib introductory course fascinating and learned a lot. However, the actual assignments for the computer vision class are not described very well, and do not at all correlate with the lectures. In the end the course gave me some interesting ideas, but I certainly don't think it was well thought out.

Good points: Introduction to some good MATLAB based functions and operations, Pseudo-code available in the exercises.

Bad Points: Course material just too basic, no mathematical understanding provided, concepts only introduced, course videos have no relation with the MATLAB exercises.

Essentially if you do not have an image processing background, it leaves you confused about what exactly you learned.

There is no in-depth explanation to anything. There is not a single connection between what the course teaches and the assignments given. It simply gazes over very important topic that needs to be taught. The course is about the history and techniques involved in CV. None of the techniques are explained in detail. I will not recommend this if someone is looking to learn about CV

I think the course lacks a lot of context and practical skills, it's just like watching a documentary with useless information, and the resources that were actually useful was just given to students to review for themselves instead of them being explained by the lecturers.

The course is poorly designed and prepared. Most materials presented are directly or indirectly obtained from other online sources. The course ONLY briefly talks about computer vision concepts.

The information in the course is very high level and the assignments are quite brief. I'd say this course should be considered a "discount" course since it's so light weight.

I found a lot of things off the topic for an introductory course in computer vision. On top of that matlab could have been replaced by python or kept as optional.

The course is pretty good but way to short for the money paid. It should include a lot more Matlab practical and theoretical play

The course wasn't very challenging, not worth the money the course needs more programming challenges.

Too basic. Its best to have another course in a line-up for advanced and intricate topics in vision.

A bit too basic without much explanation on how to do a simple application on your own
