Synopsis:

Camera systems are becoming a common part of life by being universally available. Related to this phenomenon is the need to process and evaluate image information. The course introduces students to different types of camera systems and a variety of methods for image and video processing. The course is focused on practical use of camera systems for solving problems of practice that the graduates may encounter.

Study Objective:

The student is expected to gain the following from the course:

- The ability to respond to vaguely defined demands for machine vision in practice.

- Knowledge that allows them to understand problems from a machine vision perspective and design an appropriate imaging system, including the camera, lens, and lighting, with the aim of obtaining ideal image data for further processing.

- Theoretical knowledge about a range of algorithms that can be applied with minimal effort to the acquired ideal data to solve tasks.

- Practical skills in implementing these algorithms using Python on real-world data.
