Studying at the University of Verona

Here you can find information on the organisational aspects of the Programme, lecture timetables, learning activities and useful contact details for your time at the University, from enrolment to graduation.

Type D and Type F activities

The educational activities of type D are chosen by the student, those of type F are further knowledge useful for entering the world of work (internships, soft skills, project works, etc.). According to the Didactic Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and included autonomously in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F educational activities can be covered by the following activities.

1. Teachings taught at the University of Verona.

Include the teachings listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).

Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can include it autonomously during the period in which the study plan is open; otherwise, the student must submit a request to the Secretariat, sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the period indicated.

2. CLA certificate or language equivalency.

In addition to those required by the curriculum, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:

  • English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above the one required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
  • Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 cfu are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).

These cfu will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 cfu in total, as type F if the teaching plan allows, or as type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately justified.

Those enrolled until A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here.

Booklet entry mode: request the certificate or equivalency to the CLA and send it to the Student Secretariat - Careers for career entry of the exam, via email: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it

3. Soft skills

Discover the training paths promoted by the University's TALC - Teaching and learning center, intended for students regularly enrolled in the academic year of course delivery https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali

Booklet entry mode: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only after obtaining the Open Badge, the CFUs in the booklet will be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.  

4. CONTAMINATION LAB 

The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential course with modules on innovation and enterprise culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all areas to solve challenges set by companies and organisations.  

Upon completion of a CLab, students will be entitled to receive 6 CFU (D- or F-type credits).

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.  

5. Stage/internship period

In addition to the CFUs required by the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Didactic Regulations): here information on how to activate the internship. 

Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Learning objectives

This course is aimed at providing the student with the practical and theoretical tools that enables the recovery of the three-dimensional structure of a scene starting from its two-dimensional projections, the images. Formal methods are provided for image acquisition and extraction of 3D information on several applicative contexts by focusing on the processing of real and noisy data. At the end of the course, the student will be able to implement a new vision system, also in a research context, through the integration of different formal methods on the 3D estimation from images and the use of different acquisition sensors. This knowledge will allow the student to: i) exploit the knowledge of computer vision on different applicative scenarios; ii) master the analysis of real and heterogeneous data; iii) address real time performances. At the end of the course, the student will be able to: i) identify the vision method most suitable to the involved applicative context, and customize the vision system involving other disciplines like machine learning; ii) continue independently his/her studies in the field of computer vision and analysis of 3D data independently.

Prerequisites and basic notions

It is useful to remind the notions of linear algebra, mathematical analysis, and numerical methods. These notions will be reviewed during the course.

Didactic methods

Lectures, blackboard exercises, laboratory exercises. Talks by professionals from the industrial sector.
Students that for healthy problems (e.g., COVID) cannot attend a class are encouraged to contact the teacher.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam can be obtained with three different options:
A) Oral with discussion on lab exercise .
B) Project with discussion on lab exercise.
Oral is a discussion on the program. The aim is to verify the knowledge of theoretical and practical aspects of involved topics.
The discussion of lab exercise consists of the delivering of an archive with the scripts that implement the vision algorithms described in the program. The discussion aims at verifying the correct practical implementation of the theoretical aspects addressed during the course.
The project is focused on a specific and innovative topic that is identified with the teacher. The topic can be an open issue of the state of the art or a specific applicative theme. The student will be able to generalize the knowledge acquired during the course for the solution of new computer vision problems.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The discussion of the laboratory exercises represents a barrier (positive or not negative). The oral mark is divided into the following criteria: 18-23: the student knows the basic subject. 24-27: the student links the topics well. 28-30L: the student masters the more advanced aspects. The grade of the project is divided into the following criteria: 18-23: the project is a simple extension of the exercises carried out in class. 24-27: the project involves innovative topics not addressed in the classroom. 28-30L: the project involved state-of-the-art topics.
