This is the course plan for the first semester of the academic year 2024/2025. 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. |

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. The UOC reserves the right to request that students identify themselves and/or provide evidence of the authorship of their work, throughout the assessment process, and by the means the UOC specifies (synchronous or asynchronous). For this purpose, the UOC may require students to use a microphone, webcam or other devices during the assessment process, and to make sure that they are working correctly. The checking of students' knowledge to verify authorship of their work will under no circumstances constitute a second assessment. |
