ADL4CV

Welcome to the Advanced Deep Learning for Computer Vision course offered in summer semester 2024!

General Course Structure

The lecture will be held in person on Wednesdays 10am-12pm. Lecture slides will be published on this website. For the meantime, we keep the lecture slides and recordings from the previous semesters on the website as well, as a reference.

In addition, the class will feature practical projects. At the end of this course, all students are expected to deliver complete projects as teams of two persons. The project presentations during the semester and at the end of the semester will be held in person. Each team/project will be aligned with a TA, who will be responsible for all project-related questions.

We will cover the class structure and planning in more detail in the first lecture at the beginning of the course.

Lecture

See lecture links below.

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Matthias Niessner

ECTS: 8

SWS: 5

Project

In order to secure the steady progress of each project, we will schedule two presentations during the semester. The current project status and intermediate results are required in the presentation.

In addition to the regular presentations, we will also arrange a final poster presentation at the end of the course, where every team is expected to present their project with a poster as in top-tier computer vision conferences

Every team is required to submit a 4-page project report written with the CVPR paper template.

Topics:

3D Scene Understanding
3D Reconstrunction
Neural Rendering
Vision and Language
...

Presentation dates: Timeline is available in Moodle.

Teaching Assistants: Craig Lei Li, Ziya Erkoç, David Rozenberszki, and Barbara Rössle
