Course Description

Correspondence and matching problems are omnipresent in computer vision and related fields. Such problems can appear in many different contexts (e.g. image alignment, shape matching, object tracking, 3D reconstruction, etc.), which highlights their high relevance. Most commonly, such problems are phrased in terms of numerical optimisation problems, as machine learning prediction tasks, or as a combination of both. During this course students will work on a specific project that tackles a particular correspondence or matching problem setting. They will implement and analyse methods described in existing research papers, as well as understand and analyse their strengths and weaknesses. The topics will be related to:

  • Graph matching
  • Image alignment
  • Point-cloud registration
  • Shape matching
  • Deep learning
  • Feature learning
  • Multi-matching problems
  • Cycle-consistency of maps
Prerequisites

It is expected that all participants have excellent programming skills in a scientific programming language (e.g. Matlab or Python), a thorough understanding of algorithms and data structures, as well as a solid working knowledge of linear algebra and calculus.

In addition, students should have a background in at least one of the following topics: continuous/discrete optimisation, 3D geometry, computer vision, image processing, or computer graphics.

Moreover, important soft skills include communication skills, the ability to identify what is unclear, to figure out what questions need to be asked to clarify it, to formulate the questions clearly, and to ask the tutor without hesitation. Communicating well and strategically is an important rule of the practical course. Almost all difficulties experienced by students are due to not following these rules.

Course Structure

At the beginning of the course, relevant basics of correspondence and matching problems, including theoretical and practical aspects, will be covered in lectures. Subsequently, students will work on practical projects in groups of 2-3. In order to ensure an appropriate progress of the students, there will be regular communication with tutors. At the end of the project, each group will present their project with a following Q&A session. There will be no additional written or oral exam. Both the theoretical and practical part of the project will be considered in the final grading.
