Week 10 Guest Lectures

Posted by Erik Meijering Tuesday 16 November 2021, 11:34:11 AM.

Dear Students,

As we managed to schedule all group project demos in the Week 10 Thursday 6-8pm lecture/consultation time slot, we decided to use the Week 10 Tuesday 6-8pm time slot for some guest lectures. These are all pre-recorded talks and can be found on Echo360, so you can watch them at any time that suits you.

Specifically, there is a 1-hour talk from the UNSW EPICentre on applied hybrid analytics and computer vision applications for research and industry , and then three short talks from the 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging , given by various members in our group at UNSW CSE.

We hope you will find these extra talks inspiring as they showcase a wide range of computer vision methods.

And we wish you all the best with the group project demos and Q&A on Thursday!

Assignment and Lab 3 submission deadline time

Posted by Alfred Krzywicki Thursday 07 October 2021, 10:49:47 AM.

Dear students,

We had a number of enquiries about the submission deadline time. In the specifications, the deadline in 23:59, however in Moodle the deadline is 23:55. The reason for this difference is that some Moodle settings allow to only specify the time with 5 minutes precision. If you submit between 23:55 and 23:59, and there is a late submission notice in Moodle, please ignore it. There will be no penalty for late submission in this case .

Assignment submission is open

Posted by Alfred Krzywicki Wednesday 06 October 2021, 11:20:55 AM, last modified Wednesday 06 October 2021, 01:13:37 PM.

The Moodle submission links for the report document and source code of Assignment is now open.

DEADLINE : Wednesday 6 October 23:59 Sydney time.

FORMAT : .2 files: 1) report document in PDF file, 2) source code in zip file which include both the code and images. (Please use this file format and not the one given in the assignment spec)

The report and the source code will be submitted using Moodle. The Moodle course website has the submission section as shown here:

The first link is to submit the report only, and the second link is only for the code submission in the zip file.

If you have any issues uploading the files, post it on the Moodle forum or send an email to cs9517@cse.unsw.edu.au
