Læringsmål:The student will become capable of writing plug-inns for a professional post production station \"Flint\" in c++.


The student will have got insight into modern movie restoration methodology.


The student will know state of the art tracking.


The student will be able to program small restoration and tracking algorithms in c++ and Matlab.
 
Fagligt indhold:The bayesian paradigm for computer vision.



Image information is incomplete for solving the general questions in computer vision such as restoration, tracking, object recognition. The bayesian paradigm phrases this in a probabilistic setting so as to infer optimal solution.




Restoration.



When movies have been damaged, restoration may be performed by hand painting frame by frame. Modern digital techniques insted automated fill in the blancs by modelling the most likely contents in damaged region. We start by simple linear filtering techniques and end up with modern Partial Differential Equation (PDE)-based approaches.




Tracking.



In order to make special effects, artificail objects or visual pattern must follow scene structures over time, to appear in a constant position within the scene. The course goes through modern techniques starting from correlation and ending with condensation or particle filtering techniques.



Technology.



The student will write computer vision algorithms in matlab and in c++ to create plug ins for the Discreete Logic Flint station, a professional digital post production facility.




Mathematics.



The course goes through the necessary probability theory, statistics, functionals, Euler-lagrange techniques.
