Computer Vision - University of The Punjab

Welcome to the Computer Vision course page! Computer Vision is a field of AI that focuses on enabling machines to interpret and understand the visual world. In this course, you will study both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of computer vision techniques, exploring how algorithms can process, analyze, and extract meaningful information from images. This course covers the theory and practice of computer vision. Dive into image processing, neural networks, object recognition, and advanced techniques such as deep learning, 3D vision, and motion analysis.
