# Practical Information
1. There are no compulsory exercises. It is your responsibility to
the exercises you need to do to understand the subject and gain
experience.
2. Feedback is provided *in class* upon demonstration of own work
and solutions.
3. The module emphasises the relation between theoretical and practical
understanding.
4. I try to give you *freedom to learn*. Please use that freedom to
learn what you need to know.
## How to work with the module
1. Read the theory.
2. Do practical exercises to *test your theoretical understanding*
- Do the exercises that you need to do to make sense of the theory.
3. Evaluate your own solutions and reflect upon
- what have you learnt from the exercise?
- what do you yet not know?
4. Don't do a lot of exercises quickly.
It is better to make sure that you comprehend a few exercises fully,
and can justify and validate your own reasoning.
5. Ask Questions.
I will generally not repeat material unsolicited,
but I am very happy to discuss any question you may have.
4. Keep a diary.
Make sure you can refer back to previous ideas and reuse previous solutions.
## The practical exercises
The practical exercises are designed to give both
Both practical and theoretical exercises are given.
Most of the exercises are designed in the hope that you can
complete them in a session or two, but also move on even
if you do not complete them.
1. standalone prototypes 3-5 times during the semester,
each demonstrating key aspects of the theory.
2. combine together into a final machine vision system,
rudimentary but complete.
Observe that the exam gives you a lot of freedom to emphasise
what you find interesting and useful. Thus you will be rewarded
for solving related variants and for tying different exercises
together in more complete systems.
## How does the exam work
1. Oral Exam.
2. You get seven minutes to demonstrate the highlights of your
understanding of the subject.
*Make a case for the grade you think you deserve.*
3. The examiner will use the rest of the time for questions to clarify
and to demonstrate expected breadth and depth.
4. Note that there are both theoretical and practical learning outcomes,
and the module emphasises the relation between these two.

(https://bibsys-almaprimo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=TN_cdi_askewsholts_vlebooks_9780387217796&context=PC&vid=NTNU_UB&lang=no_NO&search_scope=default_scope&adaptor=primo_central_multiple_fe&tab=default_tab&query=any,contains,ma%20invitation%203d%20vision&offset=0)
+ Chapters 1-6 and 11
+ All lectures and exercises
+ Additional reading:
+ Ma 2004, Chapters 7-10 and 12.
+ *OpenCV 3 Computer Vision with Python Cookbook* by
Alexey Spizhevoy (author) from O'Reilly can be a useful supplement.
Search for it in [Oria](https://oria.no/).
There is an e-book available.
+ The syllabus is defined by the lectures and exercises.
+ Two textbooks will be used, both available electronically for free:
- [Ma (2005): An Invitation to 3-D Vision: From Images to Geometric Models](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-21779-6)
- Chapters 1-5 and 11
- This book gives a very good presentation of the fundamental theory, but it is unfortunately
outdated when it comes to current applications.
- [Szeliski (2022): Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications, 2nd ed.](https://szeliski.org/Book/)
- Chapters to be announced.
- This book is very up to date, but it does not always describe the algorithms in detail.
