Beschreibung

This project seminar aims at master students who want to extend their image processing, computer vision, and computer graphics skills regarding the analysis, planning, and development of GPU-accelerated image and video processing techniques for mobile, desktop, and server systems. A short video showcasing results of recent courses can be found here: https://youtu.be/YNgGWarBFEY

The course has mainly a project character and is subdivided into two parts:

The first part of the course is organized as a lecture series. The lecture topics are specified together with the seminar students and can include an introduction to the following basic concepts and foundations to:

  • A short introduction into the field of image and video analytics,
  • Techniques for image and video processing,
  • Application development for mobile and Desktop/Server systems

Using specific image and video processing operations, the course teaches how fundamental processing techniques can be designed, developed, and tested.

In the second part of the course, participants will work individually, or as a team (max. 2 members), to implement assigned topics in the field of interactive image and video processing. For all target systems, we offer middleware for development, which can be used. For example, a C++ Framework for Desktop applications, an Android and iOS framework for mobile applications, and JS (Angular, Node framework) for service-based browser-applications will be provided. Topics for this project seminar cover the following domains (not limited to):

  • Convolutional Neural Networks for image analysis and transformation*.
  • Image and video processing for VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) applications.
  • Web-based image processing using WebGPU or WebGL
  • Integration of interactive rendering techniques in 3rd party applications 
  • Implementation of interactive image stylization and editing tools for desktop systems
  • Service-based image and video-processing*
  • Automated video summarization approaches to efficiently and effectively shorten videos*
  • Web-app development for service-based image- and video processing
  • Integration of deep learning frameworks into visual computing pipelines for videos
  • Implementing effects for visual media abstraction*

Topics marked by a * are related to a joint research project of the Hasso Plattner Institute with Digital Masterpieces and the German Federal Ministry of Education, which investigates new concepts and techniques for multidimensional video processing and automatic video abstraction.

Voraussetzungen

  • Successful completion of the lectures Computer Graphics I and/or II
  • Basic knowledge of OpenGL (ES) Shading Languages or Metal Shading Language for image and video processing topics
  • Basic knowledge/understanding of Neural Networks and/or ComputerVision algorithms for image and video analysis topics
  • For Service/WebApps development: basic knowledge/understanding of Angular, Node.js, JavaScript, and Docker
  • For Android mobile development: basic knowledge of Java programming language
  • For iOS development: basic knowledge of Swift development
  • For Desktop development: basic knowledge of C++ development
