Course Contents:
Fundamentals of Computer Vision in 3D
This part consists in two concepts, theory and labs (also called practice). Both are examined in writing. A grade of 3,4 or 5 represents Pass.
Theory supports student learning in terms of understanding of tools necessary to construct computational methods. Practice is meant to give skills illustrating the theory. Evidently, not every detail of theory is possible to illustrate via labs. Likewise, not every detail of practice is explained in terms of theory, as some practice contents are expected to be supported by your prior knowledge, e.g. basic programming skills and implementation of basic math theory in programs. Below is the summary of theory and how this relates to practice as well as sections of the course book.

Laboratory exercises material (se Litterature above) contain normally a pdf document, images and matlab code which can be incomplete or complete. The pdf document will guide you through the lab duties and ask for explanations, or completitions of matlab codes when they are not. Questions in pdf documets ARE NOT THE SAME, as the questions in examination.
