Image Analysis I

On this page, you should find all the information about exercises of the Image Analysis course.

About Labs

We have a few task to implement in this course:

Implement a simple object classifier,
implement a backpropagation neural network classifier,
use a deep learning framework to implement a backpropagation neural network classifier,
compute a well know object heatures that can be used in a classifier.

Evaluation - how can you earn a credit

During the exercises, we will cover some topic of digital image processing. Your task is complete and handover them for final grading. We'll use the OpenCV library in our implementation.

Exercise 1

We'll implement image segmentation using thresholding and indexing of objects on the following input image:

Text describing the content of the exercise is available in [PDF] or as a web presentation.

There are two template projects for different development environments and operating systems that you can use to implement exercises:

If you use Linux and VSCode, first, install these two VSCode extensions first:

        code --install-extension ms-vscode.cpptools
        code --install-extension ms-vscode.cmake-tools

You can read an explanatory text that describes the first exercise in detail. Basic operations with images and datatypes that you'll need to know are described.

Exercise 2

We'll implement a simple features computation.

We'll implement features computation: features_02 [PDF] or in a web presentation.

Exercise 3

We'll implement saving the ethalons features and use this features to classify objects in a new image. A description is provided in this document.

Exercise 4

We'll implemente k-means algorithm for simple clustering of extracted features.

Exercise 5

We'll use a back propagation neural network as a classifier. See text about back propagation neral network for details. The basic structure of a back propagation neural network is in the following file: bpnn.zip

Next, you your implementation of back propagation neural network as a classifier for extracted object features.

Exercise 6

We'll implement a back propagation neural network as a classifier in the PyTorch deep learning framwrork. Use this Jupyter Notebook as a stub.

Exercise 7

We'll implement a sliding window for numbers detection and classificatin using the PyTorch deep learning framwrork. Use this Jupyter Notebook as a stub.

Exercise 8

We'll look at the motion detection based on background modeling usign Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). The text that describes the method is available here: mog.pdf (in Czech, author: Tomáš Fabián)
