The course is about bio-inspired signal processing, the human visual system, linear and non-linear systems as well as high-level functions in human visual processing. The course is offered every summer semester.
The goal of this course is to get an overview of the human visual system, to learn classical signal processing and machine vision techniques and to finally relate both fields.

Vorbereitung auf das Projektstudium im Master-Studiengang Informatik. Themen sind interdisziplinäre Forschung, Projektmanagement, wie auch Wissenschaftskultur und -theorie.
Organisatioren: Kerstin Schill und Ralf Streibl.
The topics of this course are the principles of symbolic and neural systems. Offered during Winter Semesters.
Der Kurs beschäftigt sich mit Themen wie Vagheit, Unsicherheit und Fuzzyness, numerischen und qualitativen Kalkülen zur Behandlung unsicherer Daten. Es wird sich auch damit beschäftigt, wie der Mensch mit unsicherem Wissen umgeht.
