After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• independently research scientific literature in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition and to critically deal with it
• write a simple scientific paper that complies with the rules of academic practice
• summarize the findings of their literary work in a technical presentation and to discuss them in a group of colleagues

Seminar on selected topics in the area of Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. Thematic foci for the winter semester 2019/20 will be announced at the preliminary meeting.

In the course of the seminar and through individual monitoring, students will be familiarized with the procedure of literature research, critical assessment and follow-up work by writing a seminar paper. Although approaches will depend on the selected topic of the paper, students should focus on scientific literature in English. Another important aspect of this seminar will be the practicing of students' presentation skills, as there is individual feedback given after the final presentations.

Preliminary meeting: Wednesday, 9th October 2019, 13.00 - 15.00, seminar room FAV 01 C, Favoritenstrasse 9-11, 1st floor, staircase 4). The final presentations are expected to be held on Tuesday 28th January 2020. The actual times and dates will be announced as soon as the number of participants is known. Further dates will be announced in this first meeting.

This course represents 3 ECTS (= 75 hours) and approximately 12 hours of these require compulsory attendance (for the final presentations, preliminary meeting, etc.).  The remaining hours are intended for the creation and completion of your written paper and presentation slides as well as individual supervision (including feedback on the seminar papers and presentations).
