Welcome
Dear Students,
Thank you very much for signing up for Image and Video Processing: From Mars to Hollywood with a Stop at the Hospital. Over the 9 weeks of the course, you will learn some of the most important concepts in image and video processing, and since we use and see images and videos everyday, this is a very exciting topic.
We invite you to watch the first three videos of week one, which we have pre-opened (on January 7 at about 10 am EST, the time at Duke University in the East Coast) to help you better understand what we plan on teaching: after all, a picture is worth a thousand words! The other videos for Week 1 will appear January 14, the official start date of this class. All discussion forums will be opened that day as well.
We also invite you to start looking at the different sections in the class home page, such as “Start Here,” “Class Philosophy,” “Grading Policy,” etc. This will help you to both understand the logistics of this class and to familiarize yourself with the web site.
Each week will contain a series of short lectures along with a quiz for the material of that week. You should expect to spend about 2 hours per week watching the lectures, another 1 hour or less per week doing the exercises, and as much as you can or wish with the optional programming exercises (which do not count towards the “Statement of Accomplishment”). The course website will also contain detailed information about discussion forums, and we will post notices as the course develops.
Each week will be self contained, all the material needed for that week is included in the video lectures of the week.
My goal is for you to learn while having fun, so the video lectures are the key component of this class, together with the discussion forums you will populate; the quizzes are, as you will see, very simple and will help you to keep focused and learn.
You will have the chance to earn a "Statement of Accomplishment" or "Statement of Accomplishment with Distinction,"
as detailed in the Grading Policy section. The first one will reflect the satisfactory completion of the first 4 weeks OR the last 5 weeks, while the second will reflect the satisfactory completion of the entire 9 weeks. See Grading Policy section for details.
We hope you stay for the full 9 weeks, but in case you get too busy, this will help you in case you need to stop doing quizzes half-way and/or want to start doing them only half-way during these 9 weeks.
You will get more out of this course if you share the adventure, so we suggest that you encourage a few friends or family members to take the course with you. You can learn from each other if you discuss your own work with others.
We will be able to teach this course more effectively if we can get a better idea of who is taking it. To help us achieve this goal, please fill out a short survey at https://duke.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8oYSaoPJ1tTE2zP
This is voluntary, you can of course continue with the class regardless of your completion of such survey.
Thank you.
We are looking forward to working with you for 9 weeks, and we hope you are, too.
