Prof. Corso moved to the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the University of Michigan in the 8/2014. He continues his work and research group in high-level computer vision at the intersection of perception, semantics/language, and robotics. Unless you are looking for something specific, historically, here, you probably would rather go to his new page.

News

  • For the first week, we will meet briefly to discuss the paper list.

Main Course Material

Course Overview: This course will explore the topic of semantics in image and video analysis. We will read and discuss papers on this topic throughout the semester, with the students primarily in charge of leading the discussions.

Prerequisites: It is assumed that the students have significance experience with computer vision, machine learning, and image analysis.

Grading: Grading is P/F unless a student specifically request otherwise.


Course Outline

See the paper list below for the full paper citations. I just list the authors here.
