UE Introduction to visual computing

Visual computing is the computer science discipline that deals with images.  The ability to analyse, interpret and create images with computers is an essential part of computer science.  This is illustrated with the ever growing set of devices that can display, generate and capture images and with the associated increase of image usage in everyday life.  This course introduces  some of the basic principles and techniques in this domain that are used in most image related fields such as computer vision, computer graphics and medical imaging.
