Computer vision is currently one of the most active and popular research fields in artificial intelligence, with the goal being enabling computers to perceive and understand real world via capturing optical signals. With various kinds of cameras equipped, modern computers are widely applied to helping people with more and more complex tasks, such as assisting doctors with clinical diagnosis, taking care of patients, equipping vehicles with the ability of automatic driving, and enabling smart robots to execute dangerous tasks. Based on these promising applications, recent years have witnessed hundreds, if not thousands, of AI companies to emerge in different commercial areas.
The Computer Vision Training Course
Huawei SHARE Program
The course on Computer Vision is a training program which was designed by the top-level scientists in Huawei Technologies. The goal is to provide a brief introduction to the basic knowledge as well as trending topics in this intriguing research field. You will have the chance to communicate with Huawei’s researchers working on the frontier of computer vision, and deepen understanding with the help of interesting homework, including paper reading, practical coding and a course project. After this course, all students are supposed to get more familiar with cutting edge techniques and algorithms, popular libraries in computer vision research and developments, as well as the practice in Huawei’s powerful AI development platform (Model Arts).
