Recent news you should be aware of ... * The schedule of 2014 lectures is out! * A new version of the course is scheduled for the year 2013/2014
This is a description page for the PhD course on 3D Structure from Visual Motion: Novel Techniques in Computer Vision and Autonomous Robots/Vehicles. This course can be taken also by students from Computer Engineering in the Laurea Magistrale track.

Course Aim & Organization
Simultaneous estimate of the unknown motion of a camera (or the vehicle this camera is upon) while reconstructing the 3D structure of the observed world is a challenging task that has been deeply studied in the recent literature. The PhD course on 3D Structure from Visual Motion: Novel Techniques in Computer Vision and Autonomous Robots/Vehicles will present modern techniques to simultaneously estimate the unknown motion of a camera while reconstructing the 3D structure of the observed world to be applied in scientific fields such as: 3D reconstruction, autonomous robot navigation, aerial/field surveying, unmanned vehicle maneuvering, etc.

Course Evaluation
The course evaluation will be done on the basis of a project which could be completed also in groups of two people. In the case of PhD students this project could/should be somehow related to their research interests.
