After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• independently research scientific literature in the field of image and video analysis and synthesis and to critically deal with it
• write a simple scientific paper that complies with the rules of academic practice
• summarize the findings of their literary work in a technical presentation and to discuss them in a group of colleagues

Seminar on selected topics in the area of image and video analysis and synthesis. The thematic foci of the winter semester 2021/22 will be announced at the preliminary meeting.

In the course of the seminar and through individual monitoring, students will be familiarized with the procedure of literature research, critical assessment and follow-up work by writing a seminar paper. Although approaches will depend on the selected topic of the paper, students should focus on scientific literature in English. Another important aspect of this seminar will be the practicing of students' presentation skills, as there is individual feedback given after the final presentations.

Preliminary meeting: Wednesday, 20th October 2021, 10.00 - 12.00 via remote learning tools (links to Zoom meetings will be made available on TUWEL). The final presentations are expected to be held on Wednesday 26th January 2022. The actual time and date will be announced as soon as the number of participants is known. Further dates will be announced in this first meeting.

This class will be held exclusively online.

This course represents 3 ECTS (= 75 hours) and approximately 12 hours of these require compulsory attendance (for the final presentations, preliminary meeting, etc.).  The remaining hours are intended for the creation and completion of your written paper and presentation slides as well as individual supervision (including feedback on the seminar papers and presentations).

• Grading of a written seminar paper (to be handed in online, in the TUWEL course)
• Assessment of scientific presentation (online via Zoom)
• Participation in discussions (online via Zoom)

You therefore need a computer, access to the internet, a working microphone, a webcam and access to the TUWEL course in order to be able to participate in this course.

A working knowledge of image and video analysis and synthesis is essential. This knowledge can be acquired in relevant courses of the Bachelor's Program Media Informatics and Visual Computing as well as the Master's Programs Media Informatics or Visual Computing.
