Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the knowledge necessary for the design and application of artificial vision systems, promoting the acquisition of design skills that can also be directly used in a work environment. The course includes the presentation of basic methodological notions, the development of advanced topics also through specific seminars, and the carrying out of mandatory individual laboratory exercises. To carry out the laboratory activities, students must have software development skills, mainly in a C/Linux/OpenCV environment.
Prerequisites
Artificial Vision requires practical knowledge of the topics covered in the courses of Electronic Calculators, Fundamentals of Computer Science, and Operating Systems. For the development of the projects, the C/C++ language will be used with the help of the OpenCV library.

Teaching methods
Both theory lessons and OpenCV tests on personal laptop
Assessment methods and criteria
SCORE
- written essay on THEORY topics, 2 hours, 25 POINTS (minimum 15)
- laboratory test using personal laptop, 2 hours, 5 POINTS (minimum 3)
- optional assignements in the laboratory that leads to exemption from laboratory test
VALIDITY'
Theory test, practice test and assignments remain valid until the autumn session.
WRITTEN TEST MODE
2-3 open-ended questions on theory topics.
It is not allowed to consult notes or manuals.
PRACTICAL TEST MODE
Write a C/C++ program similar to the ones seen during laboratory lessons:
- it will take place in the laboratory
- the use of personal laptops is permitted
- you are allowed to use any type of material and OFFLINE code: notes, sample code, exercises, manuals, assignments and other code that you have written.
- It is NOT allowed to consult online sites during the test
it will be evaluated even if the code compiles and terminates correctly (no crashes or various segmentation faults)
