Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the concept of computer vision, teach fundamental methods and techniques, and equip them with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for AI-enabled computer vision applications. Within the context of AI operations, the course focuses on practical applications such as object detection, image classification, and face recognition, as well as the effective use of computer vision in professional work processes.

Course Content

The course begins with the definition and fundamental components of computer vision, covering the digital processing, analysis, and interpretation of images. It focuses on topics such as object detection, classification, segmentation, and facial recognition. The role of artificial intelligence algorithms in computer vision is explored, along with practical examples using popular tools such as OpenCV and TensorFlow. Data security, ethics, and professional standards are emphasized.
