- 8 - 16 September
- 9-12 - 22-23 and 29-30 September
- 13-14 - 6-7 October - staff seminar - possibly self-managed work only
- 20-21 - 13-14 October - midterm - regular teaching
Note Session 12 was planned Self-Study due to staff seminar. Session 13-14 became self-study because of sick leave, and negligible progress was made this week.
Note for next year We should have had one session on blurring filters and similar techniques from image processing before starting on Corner Detection (Session 8). This would have made the introduction of signal differentiation smoother.
Chapter 5. Projective Reconstruction (two weeks ?)
This plan is tentative.
# | Topic | Reading | Keywords |
---|---|---|---|
17 | Relative Pose | Ma 2004:Ch 5.1 | Triangulation. Relative Pose. Essential Matrix. |
18 | Eight-point algorithm | Ma 2004:Ch 5.2 | Calculate Essential Matrix |
19 | Study Technique | Ma 2004:Ch 5.1 | Proof reading. |
20 | Synthetic Experiment | Ma 2004:Ch 5.1-2 | |
21 | Planar Scenes | Ma 2004:Ch 5.3 | |
22 | Epipolar Geometry | Ma 2004:Ch 5.1-3 |
Notes for next year
- Synthetic Experiment should be merged into Eight-point algorithm
- Study Technique should probably be done earlier in the semester
- 3D modelling took a lot of time. Many did not realise that they needed to find triangles. Rectangles mixed with triangles caused problems.
- Generally, the preliminary steps of the exploratory exercises should have been premade, to save time for the students.
- Algorithm implementation is difficult and require sample solutions
New. Machine Learning
Chapter 6 and 11. Projective Reconstruction (many weeks)
# | Topic | Reading | Keywords |
---|---|---|---|
23 | Distorted Space | Ma 2004:Ch 6.1-2 | |
24 | Stratified Reconstruction | Ma 2005:Ch 6.3-4 | |
25 | Partial Scene Information | Ma 2005:Ch 6.5 | |
26 | Real World Reconstruction | Ma 2004:Ch 11 |
Notes for next year
- We can skip Stratified Reconstruction and Partial Scene Information
- Distorted Space may be interesting as an introduction to inner product spaces.
- What can we make out of Real World Reconstruction?
