Computer Vision
We need 1 hr for the exercise session. The first session is from 14:00-15:00, and the second session is from 15:15-16:15.
You are free to choose whichever session to attend.
Course Information
Computer Vision (following Tomaso Poggio, MIT): Computer Vision, formerly an almost esoteric corner of research and regarded as a field of research still in its infancy, has emerged to a key discipline in computer science. Vision companies have emerged and commercial applications become available, ranging from industrial inspection and measurements to security database search, surveillance, multimedia and computer interfaces. Computer Vision is still far from being a solved problem, and most exciting developments, discoveries and applications still lie ahead of us. Understanding the principles of vision has implications far beyond engineering, since visual perception is one of the key modules of human intelligence.

Exercises
Put all your files (report, code, images) in a zip named "CV14_ETHID_LastName.zip".
Where ETHID is your student id found on your student card (eg. 14-999-999).
Then email it to the Teaching Assistant with subject "CV14 : Assignment 37" (replace "37" with the actual assignment number).
