Processamento de Imagem e Visão

Course could be way better if the head professor was better. The course itself has good applications and the material is actually interesting, but the professor is the most confusing professor ever and the course itself is so badly organized it's depressing

Pior cadeira que fiz no mestrado. Super desorganizada, a informação estava toda numa "página" do fénix em que eles iam adicionando informação, aulas em que o professor não para de falar monotonamente, e quando faz perguntas aos alunos no meio da aula, não são de resposta imediata, em que se não se disser exatamente o que ele quer, a resposta é logo "NÃO". Para preparar a discussão, preparem bem tudo o que escreveram no relatório porque ele vai pegar no mais pequeno pormenor e apertar à força toda. O que era para ser uma matéria engraçada, tornou-se num pesadelo...

Could probably be one of the best courses you could take if it wasn't so terribly structured, the professor is terribly confusing explaining the subject, and jumps from point to point to the point you can not get the point on why you are still in the room, if you like to study at home and learn for yourself this is a great course... But overall it is very interesting on what they cover... The bad part is just the professor being confusing

Classes are not engaging, and teacher is rude when giving feedback. Project is not clear and a lot of changes are introduced in the middle of its execution time. Exam is a bunch of exercises for which the faculty does not prepare in any classes. Also, the programme is mostly around Computer Vision, with Image Processing being barely even mentioned during classes.

Overall a mess. The grade is based on a project and an exam. The project was only fully defined near the deadline and was still confusing. The slides are very confusing too, as was the lectures teacher.

PIV is largely aimed at electrical engineering students, focusing on how cameras work in the real world.

The project involved building a 3D model from video (connecting frame by frame, understanding camera rotation, and applying the mathematics).

There's some mathematics involved. Nothing too difficult, but it's the tedious math from Computer Graphics, dealing with rotation matrices and homographies.

Evaluation was split 50/50 between project and exam.

I took PIV in the first semester this year. I had high expectations for this course because I really like visual stuff. I was expecting to learn things along those lines, mainly focused on image recognition and so on. But before I knew it, we were learning about pinhole cameras and camera positioning, nothing like what I had in mind or was interested in. The approach to image processing felt way too old-school to me, especially considering that nowadays most of it is done with deep learning (correct me if I'm wrong)....
