ROBOT VISION AND PERCEPTION

This class starts from easy robot vision and continues with advanced topics such as Fast Fourier Transforms and Radon Transforms. All these theories are used in practical robot vision projects.

Goal of the class.

Students should learn elementary, medium and some advanced topics in robot vision and perception to be used in software, hardware and integration/robotic projects. This is the second class in robotics but can be taken with no prerequisities in case that the students knows programming. Students should get practical understanding how robot vision algorithms are used in robot systems.

Where is this knowledge useful?

Previous students who have done projects found this class useful to find industrial positions in the following areas: robot vision, flexible automation systems with vision, medical image processing, hardware design of image processors, bank image processing, general software design, industrial board-level design, design automation.

Software.

Software used in class depends on every year projects. This quarter the projects will use OpenCV, Visual Basic and C++.

Mandatory Lectures for year 2012.
