Course Learning Objectives:

The course aims to provide the students with the introduction of some of the main topics in
Image Processing and Computer Vision. In addition to general introduction, few supervised and
unsupervised algorithms of Machine Learning used for computer vision techniques will also be taught
to develop skills in designing and building serious artificial intelligence programs.
 Students Learning Outcomes:
After completion of the course the students will be able to:
 Resolve the industry problems by using Computer Vision techniques.
 Map the industry requirements for implementing the Computer Vision techniques.
 Implement a CV project in R programming language
