Course Details
This is an introductory course to the fundamentals of multimedia retrieval. It emphasizes general principles of visual feature extraction, multimedia database and indexing technology. We expect to cover topics such as basic image processing operations, low-level feature extraction, object description and locality sensitive hashing. Students would have basic understanding of multimedia retrieval, image processing and indexing technology, and be required to successfully complete several computer projects that are designed to substantially enhance their practical experience.
