This is the course plan for the second semester of the academic year 2023/2024. To check whether the course is being run this semester, go to the Virtual Campus section More UOC / The University / Programmes of study section on Campus. Once teaching starts, you'll be able to find it in the classroom. The course plan may be subject to change. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Pattern Recognition course will introduce the student to the techniques for extracting information from data. In particular the course focuses on the recognition of patterns within the context of computer vision. Images are one of the main sources of information used by the human brain at the perceptual level to make decisions. As a consequence, the recognition of patterns within the context of computer vision is of great interest, especially nowadays that we have at our disposal a huge amount of visual data that can not be analyzed by hand. Practical applications of pattern recognition in the context of artificial vision are many. For example safety, medicine, automatic inspection, or automatic navigation. |

This course is oriented to the study of fundamental concepts of computer vision, pattern recognition and other advanced topics related to the problems of analysis and automatic recognition of complex images. In particular, the learning objectives are as follows: The specific competences that are covered in this course are the following: A2. Ability to apply computational, mathematical and statistical methods to model, design and develop applications, services, intelligent systems and / or systems based on knowledge. A3. Ability to apply mathematical and computational methods to solving technological and engineering problems, particularly in research, development and innovation. A4. Ability to model problems using a mathematical language and solve them through formal reasoning. A5. Ability to identify mathematical theories necessary for the construction of models from problems of other disciplines. A6. Ability to handle mathematical and statistical software. A9. Ability to analyze and process data to generate and manage useful information in decision making. A10. Ability to design, implement and validate algorithms using the most convenient structures. |

The assessment process is based on the student's personal work and presupposes authenticity of authorship and originality of the exercises completed. Lack of authenticity of authorship or originality of assessment tests, copying or plagiarism, the fraudulent attempt to obtain a better academic result, collusion to copy or concealing or abetting copying, use of unauthorized material or devices during assessment, inter alia, are offences that may lead to serious academic or other sanctions. Firstly, you will fail the course (D/0) if you commit any of these offences when completing activities defined as assessable in the course plan, including the final tests. Offences considered to be misconduct include, among others, the use of unauthorized material or devices during the tests, such as social media or internet search engines, or the copying of text from external sources (internet, class notes, books, articles, other students' essays or tests, etc.) without including the corresponding reference. And secondly, the UOC's academic regulations state that any misconduct during assessment, in addition to leading to the student failing the course, may also lead to disciplinary procedures and sanctions. |
