Lecture: Distributed Algorithms for Image and Video Processing
Content
The lecture discusses topics in the context of image/video processing and 3D graphics. Master Business Informatics students or diploma students are welcome to join this course. We will learn how to create, to modify, and to analyze images and videos automatically. Novel technologies and projects are presented like RoboCup or Grand Challenge, and we will also discuss novel sensors like Kinect from Microsoft.
