Computer Science

CS 401 - Projects in Computer Science - Dr. Alex Stoytchev

This semester the class will focus on applications of computing technology in human inhabited environments (e.g., an intelligent room or an intelligent home). The class will cover computational perception techniques for detecting and recognizing the activities of humans using different sensing modalities.

The class will cover the following topics: Tutorials on Matlab, open computer vision library (OpenCV), and speech recognition packages. Basic image processing. Color and movement detection. Human activity recognition based on motion history images. Tracking techniques including Kalman filters and particle filters. Face detection and face recognition: eigenfaces and cascades. Methods for interfacing with sensors. Immersive visualization and virtual reality environments: C4 cave. Affective computing, i.e., computing that relates to, arises from, or deliberately influences human emotions.
