Schedule and Lecture Notes

Many of the following slides are modified from the excellent class notes of similar courses offered in other schools by Prof Yung-Yu Chuang, Fredo Durand, Alyosha Efros, Bill Freeman, James Hays, Svetlana Lazebnik, Andrej Karpathy, Fei-Fei Li, Srinivasa Narasimhan, Silvio Savarese, Steve Seitz, Richard Szeliski, and Li Zhang. The instructor is extremely thankful to the researchers for making their notes available online. Please feel free to use and modify any of the slides, but acknowledge the original sources where appropriate.

All dates for lectures and unreleased assignments and homeworks are provisional. All readings are from Richard Szeliski, Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications, 2nd Edition, unless otherwise noted.

Note on slides: We will update the slides after each lecture, but we have uploaded all slides from previous years, for anyone interested in previewing the course material. Lectures are subject to change. Email Gene (gene@cs.cornell.edu) if there are issues with the slides.
