What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

This course introduces the basics of image processing and machine vision. The ultimate goal is to train students to be able to look at a problem requiring sensing (e.g. robotic control or measurement) and be able to determine if machine vision is appropriate, and be able to create a solution.

In the first half, students will learn the fundamentals of how images are formed, "image domain" processing and analysis techniques, and deep learning for image classification.

The second half will cover optimisation, processing in the Fourier domain, range imaging (measuring distance with cameras), and motion analysis in video data.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

How you will be assessed

Edit How you will be assessed Content

This paper will be internally assessed.

The internal assessment will comprise two written assignments, four laboratory reports, and two tests. The students must write a short report for each project including algorithm design, methods and annotated code, explaining how they achieved the set tasks. IEEE conference format will be used in reporting.

The two written assignments will be worth 5% of the final grade each. The four reports will be worth 10% of the final grade each. Assignment and report dates are approximate, and exact dates will be announced in class.

In lieu of an exam, there will be two computer based and handwritten tests. The first test will be at the end of the first half trimester, and the second after the end of the second half. The tests will each contribute 25% of the final grade.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 0% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 0% or 0% of the overall mark.
