2012-2013 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

CSCI 201 - Proseminar In Computer Science

Type of Course: Seminar

The presentation of topics in computer science by and for senior undergraduates. These presentations acquaint students with diverse subjects, introduce them to researching known topics and give them practice in presenting material to their peers. Faculty members will also present some research topics. Possible areas the topics may be drawn from might include robotics, networking, NP complete problems, neural networks, expert systems, parallel algorithms.

Fall 2012: Computer Vision and Human-Computer Interaction

Studies the application of computer vision to human-computer interaction. Students learn about computer vision techniques to create computer systems that analyze images automatically and determine what the computer “sees”. The computer vision system is then used to create new interfaces for human users. Students investigate research methods in human-computer interaction and apply them to creating video-based interactive systems. Topics include: face detection and tracking, human body modeling, feature tracking, interactive video games, systems for people with disabilities, human subjects, evaluation methodology. Students gain practical experience designing, implementing, and testing a project.

Prerequisites: Fall 2012 prerequisites: C- or better in CSCI 121 or permission of the instructor.
