Lect: 2. Prerequisite: Experience with at least one of the following topics: Computer graphics, computer vision, pixel processing, robotics or computeraided design, or permission of instructor. Programming proficiency in C, C++, or JAVA. 3D Photography—the process of automatically creating 3D, texture-mapped models of objects in detail. Applications include robotics, medicine, graphics, virtual reality, entertainment and digital movies etc. Topics include 3D data acquisition devices, 3D modeling systems and algorithms to acquire, create, augment, manipulate, render, animate and physically build such models. COMS E6734y Computational photography 3 pts. Lect: 3. Prerequisites: COMS W4160, W4731, or a working knowledge of photography are recommended. Students should have knowledge in any of three core areas: computer vision, computer graphics, or photography. Computational techniques are used to produce a new level of images and visual representations. Topics include HDR imaging, feature matching using RANSAC, image mosaics, image-based rendering, motion magnification, camera lens arrays, programmable lighting, face detection, single and multiview geometry, and more. COMS E6735y Visual databases 3 pts. Lect: 3. Not offered in 2011–2012. Prerequisites: COMS W3133, W3134, or W3137 required. COMS W4731 and W4735 helpful but not required. Contact instructor if uncertain. The analysis and retrieval of large collections of image and video data, with emphasis on visual semantics, human psychology, and user interfaces. Low-level processing: features and similarity measures; shot detection; key frame selection; machine learning methods for classification. Middle-level processing: organizational rules for videos, including unedited (home, educational), semiedited (sports, talk shows), edited (news, drama); human memory limits; progressive refinement; visualization techniques; incorporation of audio and text.

Examples and demonstrations from commercial and research systems throughout. Substantial course project or term paper required. COMS E6737x or y Biometrics 3 pts. Lect: 3. Prerequisite: Background at the sophomore level in computer science, engineering, or like discipline. Corequisites: None In this course we will explore the latest advances in biometrics as well as the machine learning techniques behind them.
