Introduction to Computer Vision
Required Course Readings
The occasional text for this course is “Computer Vision: A Modern Approach (2nd edition)” by Forsythe and Ponce. I say occasional because the lectures (and the slides that drive them) are a pretty good set of source material. Occasionally you may need to look at the text to help you decipher the occasional unintelligible lecture.
