Broad introduction to mathematically well-founded areas of image processing and parts of computer vision. These fields are important in numerous applications including medical image analysis, computer-aided quality control, robotics, computer graphics, multimedia and artificial intelligence. This class qualifies for starting a bachelor's thesis in our group.
This course is suitable for students of visual computing, mathematics, computer science, bioinformatics, computer and communications technology, and physics. It counts e.g. as a visual computing core course within the visual computing programme, an applied mathematics course within mathematics, or a core course (Stammvorlesung) in computer science.
It is based on undergraduate mathematical knowledge from the first three semesters (such as "Mathematics for Computer Scientists I-III"). For the programming assignments, some elementary knowledge of C is required. The lectures are given in English.
In the online tutorials we discuss the homework assignments (theory and programming). The programming assignments give an intuition about the way how image processing and computer vision algorithms work, while the theoretical assigments provide additional insights, also from a mathematical perspective.
For the homework assignments you can obtain up to 24 points per week.
To qualify for both exams you need 50 percent of all possible points.
Working in groups of up to 3 people is permitted, but all persons must be
in the same tutorial group.
By presenting your solution to a homework problem in the tutorials, you can earn 2 bonus points.
If you have questions concerning the tutorials, please do not hesitate to contact Jón Arnar Tómasson.

It is planned to have two written exams. Changes due to the development of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be excluded. We will announce any changes of the exam dates as soon as possible.
The first exam takes place on July 28, 14:00-17:00.
The second exam takes place on October 7, 14:00-17:00.
In order to qualify for the exams you need 50 percent of all
possible points from the homework assignments.
In case of qualification, you are allowed to take part in both exams.
The better grade counts. Each exam counts as an individual attempt.
Both exams will be closed book exams. You will have to follow these rules:
- You are allowed and obliged to bring three things to your desk only: Your student ID card (Studierendenausweis), a ball-pen that has no function other than writing, and a so-called cheat sheet. This cheat sheet is a A4 page with formulas or important equations from the lecture. Please note that the cheat sheet has to be handwritten by yourself. It will be collected at the end of the exam, and you can get it back at the exam inspection.
- Everything else has to be deposited at the walls of the exam hall. In particular, electronic devices (including your cell phone), bags, jackets, briefcases, lecture notes, homework and classroom work solutions, additional handwritten notes, books, dictionaries, and paper are not allowed at your desk.
- Please keep your student ID card ready for an attendance check during the exam.
- Do not use pencils or pens that are erasable with a normal rubber.
- You are not allowed to take anything with you that contains
information about the exam.
A violation of this rule means failing the IPCV course. - You must stay until the exam is completely over.
- You have to wear a face mask.
A list of students that are admitted to the written exams is now available here. If you do not find your matriculation number in the list and you think you should be admitted to the exams, please contact Jón Arnar Tómasson.

Course material is available on this webpage in order to
support the teaching and the tutorials, not to replace
them. Additional organisational information, examples and explanations
that may be relevant for your understanding and the exam are provided
in the lectures and tutorials. It is solely your responsibility
- not ours - to make sure that you receive this infomation.
The following self-test problem sheet contains 6 problems, which are intended
to be similar in style and difficulty to a 180-minutes written exam.
