- Synopsis:
-
This course introduces methods and algorithms for 3D geometric scene reconstruction from images. The student will understand these methods and their essence well enough to be able to build variants of simple systems for reconstruction of 3D objects from a set of images or video, for inserting virtual objects to video-signal source, or for computing ego-motion trajectory from a sequence of images. The labs will be hands-on, the student will be gradually building a small functional 3D scene reconstruction system and using it to compute a virtual 3D model of an object of his/her choice.
- Requirements:
-
Basics of geometry in 2D and 3D, vector algebra, linear algebra, elementary methods of continuous function optimization, Bayesian modelling basics, elementary competence in Python or Matlab programming.
