Here, we present an overview of current and past courses as well as online ressources for blended learning created by our group. Details about the courses can be found in the Moodle online system.

SmartVHB

With the support of Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern, we have created a repository of blended learning units in the area of Computer Vision. They are intended to help students focus on specific learning objectives within 45 minutes of self study and can be integrated free of charge by teachers at all Bavarian University in their curriculum.

If you are a teacher or student enrolled at a Bavarian university, you can access the units here: smart.vhb.org.

For selected units, there is also accompanying source code. For users outside (and inside) of Bavaria, we make this code available as Jupiter Notebooks on mybinder.org and gitlab.com.

The units cover the following topics:
  • Absolute Orientation
  • Bayesian Optimization 101
  • Camera Calibration and Direct Linear Transformation
  • Correlation and Convolution
  • Eigendecomposition
  • Epipolar Geometry
  • Feature Detection
  • Feature Description
  • Feature Matching
  • Gauss-Newton Optimization
  • Gradient Descent
  • Iteratrive Closest Point
  • Image Formation using Perspective Projection
  • Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (Damped Least Squares)
  • Linear Least Squares 101
  • Marker-based Pose Estimation
  • Non-Linear Least Squares 101
  • Optical Flow
  • Optical See-Through Calibration
  • Parametrisations of 3D Rotations
  • Perspective-N-Point
  • Principal Component Analysis
  • Projector-Camera Calibration
  • Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC)
  • Singular Value Decomposition
  • Stereo Correspondences
  • Structure from Motion (SfM) 101
  • Triangulation

The following units are under development and will be made available during 2021:
