Special Topics in Computer Vision

Spring 2015, Cornell University

Wednesdays 12:15 - 13:15 in Gates 416

Instructor: Noah Snavely (snavely@cs.cornell.edu)

Organizer: Nicolas Savva (nsavva@graphics.cornell.edu)

In the past decade computer vision has made incredible progress across the board, in geometry, recognition, image processing, and other areas. In this graduate seminar in computer vision, we will survey and discuss state-of-the-art research papers in this quickly moving field, with a focus on 3D geometry estimation, image matching and retrieval, use of the Internet to gather and annotate data, and scene understanding. This will draw on papers from both computer vision and computer graphics venues.
