Computational Vision (Coursera)

Offered by University of Colorado Boulder,
Computational Vision (Coursera)

In this course, we will expand on vision as a cognitive problem space and explore models that address various vision tasks. We will then explore how the boundaries of these problems lead to a more complex analysis of the mind and the brain and how these explorations lead to more complex computational models of understanding.
