Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the knowledge necessary to understand and use algorithms to process digital images and different types of spatially related data (volumes and surfaces). Therefore, algorithms and data structures will be presented to effectively code the data, segment the regions of interest, characterize with descriptors, recognize objects and align the structures (registration).
At the end of the course, the student will have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding skills that allow him to exploit data acquired by multimodal probes to perform 3D reconstruction, measurement, recognition and information fusion.
In addition, the student must demonstrate that he is able to use notions of computational geometry, algebra, and algorithms on graphs to solve practical problems in various application contexts, autonomously select the most appropriate data structures and the best algorithms.
The student will then be able to present an application project describing effectively motivations and choices, continuing the studies independently in the Visual Computing domain.

Examination Methods
Written test (20/30) and evaluation of programming skills (10/30)
To pass the exam, the student must show
- they have understood the principles related to surface and volume Data encoding and processing
- they are able to describe these concepts in a clear and exhaustive way
- they are able to apply the acquired knowledge in different applicative contexts
Written test:
The written test is composed by a few open questions and/or exercises testing the understanding of the different topics of the course.
Laboratory:
The lab exam will consist of a small project applying methods learned in the course to application specific data
