Special topics in vision science

Lectures: 1 session / week, 1.5 hours / session

An advanced seminar on issues of current interest in human and machine vision. Topics vary from year to year. This year, the class will involve studying the perception of materials. A topic and a set of readings will be chosen each week, and a participant will be in charge of leading discussion. Topics will be tackled from multiple standpoints, including optics, psychophysics, computer graphics and computer vision. Exact topics will be determined by the participants.
