Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Lab practices, combined with instructional offerings, for students to acquire the hands-on experience necessary for a successful career in Visual Computing in the information technology sector. Topics covered will include fundamental and prevalent problems from application domains in the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, human-computer interaction, medical image analysis, as well as visualization.
COURSE DETAILS:
To give students hands-on experience in vision, image processing, and graphics, including image inpaiting, 3D reconstruction, computational fabrication, and AR/VR. Guided labs teach students to exploit these algorithms to build prototype programs for real industrial applications. ***Note that if you are participating online, you need fast internet, a laptop, and a webcam for attending lectures and complete assignments.
Topics
- Image Inpainting, AR/VR, Computational Fabrication, 3D reconstruction
Grading
- Tentative: 60% Assignments, 40% Final Project. Exact grading scheme will be communicated with student during the first week of the course.

Registrar Notes:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
TEACHING AT SFU IN FALL 2020
Teaching at SFU in fall 2020 will be conducted primarily through remote methods. There will be in-person course components in a few exceptional cases where this is fundamental to the educational goals of the course. Such course components will be clearly identified at registration, as will course components that will be “live” (synchronous) vs. at your own pace (asynchronous). Enrollment acknowledges that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes. To ensure you can access all course materials, we recommend you have access to a computer with a microphone and camera, and the internet. In some cases your instructor may use Zoom or other means requiring a camera and microphone to invigilate exams. If proctoring software will be used, this will be confirmed in the first week of class.
Students with hidden or visible disabilities who believe they may need class or exam accommodations, including in the current context of remote learning, are encouraged to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112).
