CAUTION! THIS IS LAST YEAR'S SYLLABUS
It has not been updated yet.
We will probably use a DIFFERENT TEXTBOOK!

Class Newsgroup: c95.ibmr (click here) Share questions and advice.
Textbook: Multiple View Geometry
in Computer Vision,
Richard Hartley and Andrew Zisserman, Cambridge University Press (c)2000.
plus some additional readings available on the Web.
Classes:
Room 342 (Small CS Classroom) 1890 Maple Avenue
Tues/Thurs 3:30-5:00pm , with a 10-minute mid-point break.
Part 1: 3:30-4:10 (Lecture or Help Session)
(10 min break)
Part 2: 4:20-6:00 (Lecture--don't miss it!)
--I recommend doing assigned readings BEFORE attending class.
Otherwise you won't have any good questions to ask,
which are also strongly encouraged.
--Please don't skip class to work on your project:
instead, come to class and ask/learn how to do the hard
parts. It's far more efficient.
Grading: 4 Self-Contained Programming
Projects,
2 Homework Assignments (handwritten--makes notation easier)
(no midterm, no final this first time-- but next year
we'll have more evenly-spaced homework and a final exam)
