 Overview
• The main purpose: Extract information from images and videos
using a computer based approach;
• Examples:
– Finding objects that have similar shapes
– Localizing objects based on their appearances
– 3D reconstruction
– Motion
– Tracking objects in videos
– Human pose and action
• Practical works based on:
– OpenCV
– Matlab
 Images vs Computer Processing

Can you tell programmatically there is a person in this

image ?
 Object Detection

• YES ? Where is the person in the image ?

– Detection, localization
– What about tracking ?
 Pose Estimation

• Estimate the posture

 Image representation and processing

• An image is stored as an array of values in

computers. Computational methods use these
numbers to analyze the content.
• In this class, we will explore a few specific
topics in image and video understanding and
introduce theory and techniques.
 Challenges

• Different illumination
 Feature Matching

• SURF, SIFT, Good Features to Track, etc.
