Overview:

The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the recent advances in compressed sensing and sparse signal processing. We start with a discussion of classical techniques to solve undetermined linear systems, and then introduce the l0 norm minimization problem as the central problem of compressed sensing. We then discuss the theoretical underpinnings of sparse signal representations and uniqueness of recovery in detail. We study the popular sparse signal recovery algorithms and their performances guarantees. We will also cover signal processing interpretations of sparse signal recovery in terms of MAP and NMSE estimation.

The subject of wavelets has received considerable attention over the last twenty years, with contributions coming from researchers in electrical engineering, mathematics and physics. The word "wavelet" refers to a little wave, and implies functions that are reasonably localized both in the Time Domain and in the Fourier Domain. The idea stems from the limitation posed by the Uncertainty Principle, which puts a limit on simultaneous localization in the time and frequency domains. As in the case of the Uncertainty Principle of Physics, the implications are seen more when one would like to make a microscopic analysis of signals. In a number of signal processing situations, one does indeed need to look at local features: in fact, the requirement of simultaneous localization is far more widespread than often perceived. For example, there are many situations in audio, image and video where, for the purpose of analysis, one very often wishes to focus one's attention on a specific time/ space range and frequency range simultaneously. A number of problems in digital communication also point to the implications of this uncertainty, and the need to address it suitably. The origin of the wavelet transform is in trying to achieve this to the best extent possible while working within the limits posed by the uncertainty principle. In fact, one may relate the idea of the wavelet transform to the use of a positional notation in the context of real numbers. The wavelet transform allows a generalization of the positional notation for the context of functions. In fact, another aspect of the whole subject is multiresolution analysis - the process of analyzing phenomena and information with a scale/fineness, matched to the content being analyzed. This issue has important implications in waveform and signal synthesis and design, in data compression, in the analysis of signals coming from geophysical sources and biomedical sources, in locating and analyzing singularities in signals and functions, in interpolation and in many other areas. The whole idea of wavelets manifests itself differently in many different disciplines although the basic principles remain the same. The aim of this course is to introduce the idea of wavelets, and the related notions of time-frequency analysis, of time-scale analysis, and to describe the manner in which technical developments related to wavelets have led to numerous applications. A discussion on multirate filter banks will also form an important part of the course. The relation between wavelets and multirate systems will be brought out; to illustrate how wavelets may actually be realized in practice.

Computers back in the day were good at understanding numbers yet failed miserably at reasoning visual data. Over the years, many researchers and engineers have worked on the path of making computer reason better on the image data that humans perceived so naturally. The generation of image data increases at a rate of petabytes per minute, and humans cannot process it all. Hence, computer vision should be a crucial driver of intelligent technology in the coming years.

Computer vision has become ubiquitous in our society, with applications in search, medicine, image understanding, apps, mapping, drones and self-driving cars. Core to many of these applications are visual recognition tasks, such as image classification, localization and detection. Recent research developments have significantly advanced the performance of these state-of-the-art optical recognition systems.

Computer vision, a subdomain of artificial intelligence, is one of the most in-demand skills for jobs, according to LinkedIn. Every year, thousands of scientists contribute to it, and there has been an exponential rise in research work over the last decade. Computer vision technology should also drive some of the most exciting innovations of the 21st century, like autonomous vehicles, medical imaging diagnosis and military applications.

Hence, it an excellent prospect for anyone looking for a well-paid career in an exciting and cutting-edge field. Given the wealth of education available online, you don't necessarily need an Ivy League education to learn computer vision. Kick-start your learning today with the best-in-class online courses to elevate your understanding of machine vision to the next level.

These courses can cater to varied audiences. Maybe you want to learn how to design and code AI algorithms. Perhaps you want to mess around with the tools and frameworks that are available, or perhaps you need to understand the business side of computer vision in your company. Whatever your goals are, you are likely to find something that will expand your horizons.

For example, Stanford offers a course called "Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition" that dives deep into details of the deep learning architectures focused on learning end-to-end models for these tasks, particularly image classification by the school's Vision Lab under the supervision of Fei Fei Li. During the 10 weeks, students learn to implement, train and debug their own neural networks and gain a detailed understanding of cutting-edge research in computer vision. It focuses on teaching how to set up the problem of image recognition, the learning algorithms (e.g., backpropagation), practical engineering tricks for training and fine-tuning the networks, and it guide the students through hands-on assignments and a final project.

There are elementary-level courses aimed at anyone who wants to play around with the nuts and bolts that go into building computer vision applications and what it can be used for without getting involved in the underlying mathematics and statistics. For instance, Computer Vision I by OpenCV teaches fundamental computer vision concepts, like image operations, image and video processing, deep learning and more using the OpenCV toolkit. It can help boost your hands-on understanding with an in-depth explanation of primitive code samples, and it also covers a wide range of real-world systems, like document scanner, human post estimation, selfie application and face detection, to name a few. You can also learn how to approach almost any computer vision task using the OpenCV framework. It has a collection of both image and video processing methods.

Other courses can help you get things up and running and solve a problem without diving into theory. OpenCV's Computer Vision II covers robust real-time object detection algorithm "Yolo" as a case study and how to implement Snapchat filters. If rapid prototyping interests you, it is worth the time. You should gain a considerable empirical understanding of building real-world applications using the techniques learned in the first part. In contrast to the above program, deep learning will be the main focus. Consequently, it teaches how to deploy a computer vision application on the web using AWS services.

There are also courses designed for lovers of math and theory. For instance, world-renowned computer vision research institution Georgia Tech offers an "Introduction to Computer Vision" course that is less focused on the machine learning aspect of CV. The program avoids the use of high-level APIs and instead teaches low-level primitives to analyze the image and extract structural information. It heavily focuses on the fundamentals of computer vision with underlying mathematics behind it, along with a few applications like depth recovery from the stereo, camera calibration, image stabilization, automated alignment, tracking and action recognition.
