Ever wondered how machines 'see' and understand the world around them like humans?

This course equips you with an in-depth understanding of computer vision methodologies and state-of-the-art technologies, alongside hands-on experience in crafting vision systems to tackle real-world challenges.

This course is tailored to those aiming to conceive, develop, and assess intelligent solutions across diverse vision system applications. The curriculum is thoughtfully balanced between theoretical lectures and practical workshops. Key topics include foundational concepts and techniques for vision systems, feature extraction, and representation.

Moreover, the course delves into leveraging machine learning for vision tasks such as classification, detection, and segmentation. Participants will also learn to design, construct, and evaluate effective real-time vision systems while respecting Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) values.

Course Content

  • Computer vision fundamentals, OpenCV.
  • Hand-crafted, supervised, and self-supervised feature representation learning (e.g., SimCLR, MoCo).
  • Deep learning foundation for vision systems (e.g., CNN, Attention).
  • Deep learning applications including classification (e.g., ResNet), detection (e.g., YOLO, CenterNet), and segmentation (e.g., UNet, Mask R-CNN).
  • Practical case studies, workshops, and minimum viable products for vision systems.
This course is part of the Artificial Intelligence and Graduate Certificate in Intelligent Sensing Systems Series offered by NUS-ISS.

Key Takeaways

  • Identifying specific vision system requirements tailored to diverse industrial applications.
  • A solid grasp of the foundational principles of computer vision technology, including essential theories and algorithms for vision analytics.
  • Competence in designing and implementing computer vision algorithms to address real-world industrial challenges.
  • Skills to design and construct advanced vision systems for a range of sectors, including security surveillance, manufacturing, consumer electronics, healthcare, and urban solutions.
