The WebCMS3 system updates overnight so you may not be able to access the marks through WebCMS3 until tomorrow. To see your marks on WebCMS3:
The final exam will be available on Moodle from 9am on Thursday 20th August to 9am on Friday 21st August , via the link Final Exam Paper . To format your answer, please use the template available via the link Final Exam - Template .
Your exam answer should be submitted using the link Final Exam - Submission via Turnitin . Do not use the file upload box within the Moodle quiz. You will be allowed unlimited submissions up to the due date. Your similarity score will be visible, but after the third submission it will not be recalculated until after the exam finishes.
If you have any questions about the exam paper you may email
cs9517@cse.unsw.edu.au
. The LIC will be online from 9am to 6pm on Thursday 20th August to answer questions. Instructions on what to do in the event of technical issues or illness during the exam are included at the start of the exam paper.
The marks for Lab 5 have been released, along with any penalty applied if there was a high similarity score on Turnitin. The total lab mark has also been released. Note that the total includes any penalties applied for late submission of labs, so it may be lower than the sum of the individual marks.
Dear students, in preparing for the COMP9517 online exam, please carefully read the UNSW Important Information for Online Assessments, which you can find on the Special Consideration webpage (about halfway down that page). Specifically, read the Online Exam Preparation Checklist, and the sections on Technical Issues, Fit to Sit, Time Zones, and relevant information in the FAQ section.
Dear students, the COMP9517 exam will be on Thursday 20 August 2020. As stated in the course outline, the exam is worth 40% of the total course mark, and consists of critiquing a paper from literature based on what you have learned in the course, just like in Lab 5 but with a different paper. You will have 24 hours to complete the exam, from 9AM on 20 August until 9AM on 21 August, and will need to submit via Moodle just like you have done with other recent assignments (the link will be announced). I wish you all the best with the last steps! Erik.
Please submit just the code for your project on WebCMS3, not the trained model, images or anything else. The file size limit is 20Mb.
A link is now open on WebCMS3 for you to submit your code only for the group project. This link can be found under Course Work->Assessments->Project->Project Source Code Submission 20T2 . A .zip file is the only format that will be accepted and the max file size is 20Mb.
Please remember to submit your report separately on Moodle via Turnitin using the link labelled
Project Report Submission via Turnitin.
Only one student in each group needs to submit the report and code.

The project demos will take place this week during the lecture hours. Please make sure you have checked the project demo schedule https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP9517/20T2/reso... to find your allocated day, time and stream #.
All students in each group must be present for their group's demo. Please join the meeting at least 15 minutes prior to your allocated start time, with your microphone muted. You are welcome and encouraged to watch other demos.
The meeting links and further instructions can be found in the project demo instructions: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP9517/20T2/reso...
Good luck!
The group project report will be submitted via Turnitin on Moodle, in the same way as Lab 5. This link is now available on Moodle and is labelled "Project Report Submission via Turnitin". You will be able to see your similarity score. You can submit as many times as you like up to the due date, which is Friday 7th August at 23:39 (midnight) , but after the 3rd submission Turnitin will take 24 hours to generate your updated similarity score. So use your submissions wisely.
Dear students, as announced, this week we will be showing you various example applications of computer vision. They are now available on Echo360. Two of our tutors are presenting their COMP9517 group project demo of last term, as inspiration for your own group project demos. Another tutor is demonstrating a personal project he's been working on. And the remaining videos are presentations given at the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) in April 2020, including from our own researchers at CSE and GSBmE, as well as from researchers at other universities in the world. Enjoy! Cheers, Erik
We have updated the settings on Turnitin to allow you to see your similarity score. You can resubmit as many times as you like until the due date. However, after submitting 3 times Turnitin will not generate your new similarity score for 24 hours. For this reason we have decided to extend the deadline for Lab 5 until
23:59 (midnight) on Friday 31st July.
For other questions about Turnitin, please read the discussions on Piazza.
Last night the Turnitin settings were adjusted to provide a similarity score on submission of Lab5. If you submitted previously and didn't receive a similarity score, you can resubmit your lab to see your score. After 3 submissions, the similarity score is not calculated for 24 hours.
The T2 2020 myExperience survey is now open. More information can be found here: https://student.unsw.edu.au/myexperience

Please take the time to complete the survey. Your constructive feedback is highly valued and appreciated and helps us improve the course for future students.
The project demos will be held during the lecture hours in Week 10:
Instructions explaining how the project demos will be run have been posted to the course website under Course Work->Assessments->Project->Project Demo Instructions - 20T2. Please make sure you read these instructions carefully well before the date of the demos and check the project demo schedule so that you know the date, time and stream # of your demo.
The demos will be held on Microsoft Teams and due to a tight schedule, if you miss your slot we will not be able to give you another one. Please join the Teams meeting at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time . Please join with your microphone muted so as not to disturb the other demos. You are welcome to stay and watch other demos.
Remember all students from a group MUST be present for that group's demo.
Dear students, yesterday's lecture by Dr. Yang Song was the last theoretical part of the course. The remaining lectures of Week 8 and Week 9 will not be about new theory but will consist of demos showing various deep learning and computer vision applications. Today's lecture by Dr. Yanming Zhu provides a practical tutorial/demo of deep learning to complement yesterday's lecture. Next week we will show you a series of applications of computer vision, illustrating how many of the techniques you have learned in the course are used in practice. Best wishes, Erik

By now you should all have received a meeting invitation to your Friday lab session. From this week on, the meetings will not be accessed via the channels, but only by following the link in the meeting invitation.
Please note that the labs are not a tutorial. The tutors are only there to answer your questions on the lab. If we were all physically on campus, you would come to the lab, work on the questions during the lab session and ask the tutor for any help you needed as you progressed. Please treat these online lab sessions in the same way and work on the lab questions during the lab hour, asking your tutor for help online if you need it. You will only benefit from the lab sessions if you have done some preparation.
The lecture slides (Part1) for week 3 are now available on the course website under Course Work > Lectures> Week 3
Submissions links for the Assignment and Lab 1 are now open on the course website, under Course Work->Assessments->Assignment and Course Work->Lab Activities->Week 2.

For students currently in China, UNSW now has a 'China Students Access Network' to provide UNSW students in China more seamless network access to UNSW resources and functions from their homes abroad. There is more information at https://www.myit.unsw.edu.au/services/students/chi...
In COMP9517, we are using Piazza as the forum where students may post questions about the course material. To use Piazza, you must enroll in the COMP9517 class on Piazza. So far less than half of students have done so. Please do this ASAP as there is valuable information on the forum about the assignment. To sign up, please follow these instructions carefully:
1. Follow the
link
in the
main menu on the course web page
labelled Forum - Piazza
:
https://piazza.com/class/kai4d4o0qb54l0
2. Sign up for the course in Summer 2020 (you can't log in until you have signed up)
3. Use the access code
2020vision
when requested.
If you have had a problem signing up to Piazza it is likely that you have not followed these instructions, which were posted at the start of term. Please do this before requesting help.
This is also the last chance to form your own project group. From Tuesday morning we will be allocating students to groups.
For the Assignment and the Labs you are to use OpenCV 3+ with Python 3+. Software instructions can be found in the OpenCV Tutorial and Lab Requirements under Course Work > Lab Activities.
Assignment 1 is now available on the course website under Course Work -> Assessments -> Assignment. Marking criteria and submission instructions will be released next week.
Labs for COMP9517 begin in Week 2. You will be given detailed instructions to follow for each lab. There will be a tutor available online during the lab hour (Friday 1-2pm) for face-to-face consultation. If you choose not to attempt the lab during the lab hour, you may post questions on the forum, but there will not be another opportunity for face-to-face consultation. The labs will be submitted via the course website for marking.
The lecture slides for week 1 are now available on the course website under Course Work > Lectures> Week 1
Don't forget to form groups of 5 for the project and labs by the end of this week. Instructions on how to do this were posted on the course webpage, under notices. If you are not able to form a group you will be allocated to a group next week.
The lecture slides for week 1 are now available on the course website under Course Work > Lectures> Week 1
Labs for COMP9517 will begin in Week 2 and the Lab hour is scheduled for Friday 1-2pm. As you know COMP9517 also has a group project. You will each have one tutor assigned to mentor you for your labs and the group project, so you will have the opportunity to get to know that tutor throughout the term.
Please form your project groups this week and we will create lab groups by combining project groups. There must be 5 students in each group . If anyone has not been able to form a group by Tuesday 9th June, we will allocate you to a group.
Being an online course, you may not have the opportunity to meet other students from the course in person, making it more difficult to form groups. But we have set up a class team in Microsoft Teams, called COMP9517 20T2, to which you have all been added. Here you will be able to see the names of other students in the course.
To see who is in the course:
