Hi Students,
Now that the final exam has been written, we have compiled a series of example exam questions (with answers). See WebCMS3 > COMP9517 23T3 > Course Work > Assessments > Exam. The document also provides further details about the exam.
The main purpose of the exam, as reflected in the example questions, is to test your knowledge and understanding of the concepts and methods taught in the course. Some questions may involve simple calculations related to these.
Good luck preparing for the exam!

Hi everyone,
For those having trouble submitting their group project due to webcms saying the file size is too big even though it is not, please try using give on a CSE machine . Often the upload speed causes the submission to fail.
For everyone trying to submit model weights that are over 100MB, you can include a downloadable link in your code. Make sure you make it clear for your marker.
Andrew
Hi Everyone,
Just a clarification about submitting your group project -
Please have only 1 student submit the project due to our disk space restrictions. If more than 1 has already submitted, that's fine not to worry.
Additionally, you can zip your code together with your report and use the report submission link. Note, there is no requirement that the code be in a single notebook, however, please make sure that the code is self-explanatory (and/or you have a read-me) and that the code is easy to run as specified in the spec.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for some confusion with the peer review, please see the instructions below -
The peer review for all groups is now open. This is for each member of the group to enter a participation percentage for all their own group members, including themselves. The deadline for this activity is Monday 20th August 18:00:00 Sydney time.
To enter the peer-review, log in into Moodle and click on
Review your project team contribution.
Click 'Add submission' and submit an empty file. You will be taken to the review page, where you can select the percentages of all team member contributions, and optionally add comments (refer image below for the interface with a slider and comments section). Comments, if any, should include a statement about your own contribution and contributions of all other members. If applicable, please add links to any supporting evidence.
Please do not submit your comments/ peer-evaluation in a file under the assignment file submission link as it is only used to enable the percentage slider & comments section. Please submit an empty file there.
IMPORTANT :
If you do not follow these steps your comments might be viewable by other group members.
Please follow the instructions and post further questions on Ed.
Please note: all group members must enter their peer-review. The project marking will not be completed unless all members fill this in.
Hopefully, this is much clearer now.
Andrew
Dear Students,
The submission links for the project report and video have been opened. You can find it under Course Work > Assessments > Group Project. Please follow the instructions carefully and submit with the correct format. You should get confirmation of a successful submission.
Additionally, please fill out the peer review form in Moodle by the 20th of November (Monday).

Hi Students,
Thanks to all of you who have completed the myExperience survey so far. If you haven't yet participated, you can find the myExperience link on your Moodle course page or look for the link in your student email.
Your honest and constructive feedback is valued, and helps not only students taking this course, but myself and teaching staff across UNSW to create positive changes in their courses moving forward. Your thoughts also make a difference for the next group of students taking these courses, just as thoughts from students taking courses you plan to take make a difference for you.
Please know that myExperience is confidential and your identity is not included in reports. Results of the survey are not made available until your course results are released.
Thanks,
Erik

Dear Students,
The final exam table has been confirmed today. The COMP9517 23T3 final exam has been scheduled for Wednesday 29 November 2023 and will be on campus.
More specifically, the exam will be 3 hours (max), but since we have more students in the course than we can accommodate in the CSE labs, the exam will be in multiple sessions (with corralling to avoid communication between groups).
At this moment we do not know the times of the sessions, nor who will/can sit the exam in which session. The school will provide more details about the procedure in due time.
To be continued.
Erik

Just a reminder to form your project groups by Thursday the 12th of October. You can do this in the Groups tab on Webcms. We will be finalising groups after that and students won't be able to move groups afterwards.
For students without a group or groups with less than 5 members, not to worry, at the end of the week we will assign you to a group/fill up the group.

Dear students,
Due to some students having difficulty submitting their solution to Lab01 due to file size restrictions, we have increased the limit to 8Mb. If you are still having issues with size, you can exclude the original images from the submission. Additionally, you can output the results in lower resolution (but still visible please) in your notebook.

Hi everyone,
Just to make sure: All Thursday lectures are online only . All Tuesday lectures are in hybrid mode.
It seems some systems still show an old version of the timetable stating that the Thursday lectures are also in hybrid mode, which is not the case.
Please use the timetable on WebCMS3 for the most up-to-date schedule.
Links to the online classes are listed on the Moodle page of the course.
Thanks,
Erik
Hi everyone, all slides of the Week 1 lectures are now available under WebCMS3 > COMP9517 > Course Work > Lectures > Week 1. Cheers, Erik

Dear students,
Your tutor consultation sessions for COMP9517 will start from Week 2. You will be assigned a tutor 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 join a tutor consultation group on WebCMS3 this week. On the course web page on WebCMS3, go to Groups, and join a tutor group from the list of groups available by clicking the Join button. In the coming weeks, we will be creating project groups. Please note that members in a project group may belong to different tutor groups.
If anyone has not joined a tutor group by
Monday 18th
September
,
we will allocate you to a group.
If you have any problems, please post on the Ed forum.
Best regards,
Andrew.
Hi Students,
The online lectures will be streamed via Blackboard Collaborate. The lecture links can be found on the Moodle page of the course, under Online Lectures. Where possible, the slides will be made available via WebCMS3 before the lecture (except the first).
Cheers,
Erik
Dear Students,
Throughout the term there will be various ways to ask questions and get answers:
1. During the lectures. Certainly in the class room. If you're following the lectures online, you should be able to use the chat function to post questions about the presented materials at any time. With so many students we'll have to see how it works, technically and timewise, for the lecturer to actually pick them up during the lecture. Otherwise, see options 2 and 3 below.
2. Every week (except the first week) there will be a 1-hour tutor session (separate from the lectures) during which you can consult with the tutors of your tutor group regarding the labs and group project (more details on these will follow next week). Tutor groups will be created soon and we will post the links ahead of time.
3. At any time, you can post questions in the Q+A forum. You will find the link to this forum in the main WebCMS3 panel. The platform we are using for this is called Ed. Please sign up and enroll as soon as possible using your UNSW email address to get access. The team will attempt to answer questions within 24 hours.
Best wishes,
Dear Students,
Welcome to COMP9517 2023 Term 3 starting next week. I hope you're all doing well and are ready to learn about Computer Vision!
Please have a look at the Course Outline (available in ECOS via the menu in the left panel on WebCMS3) for more details on what to expect and what's expected in this course.
The course will be delivered partly in hybrid mode. That is, the Tuesday lectures will be on campus and online at the same time, while the Thursday lectures will be fully online, as per the Timetable (see the menu panel on WebCMS3).
Please come to the on-campus lectures only if you signed up for it. This is because the room (Ainsworth G03) has a maximum capacity of only 350 while we have about 550 students in the course this term. Of course, the lectures will be recorded, so you can also just watch them afterwards (attendance is not compulsory).
In the past few years we have broken the record in terms of student numbers every new term, which keeps challenging us. Clearly, interest in computer vision and its many applications is growing rapidly. Please bear with us as we do our best solving technical challenges in making the course an enjoyable experience for you.
Apart from half of the lectures, everything else will be done fully online this term (the only question mark at this point is the exam, which will likely be on campus). We will keep you posted weekly on the activities to help you stay on track.
On behalf of the entire COMP9517 23T3 Team, which includes Co-Lecturers A/Professor Yang Song, Dr Sonit Singh, Dr Tariq Khan, several more Guest Lecturers, the two Course Admins Andrew Gunawan and Piumi Don Simonge, and 20 Tutors, I wish you a great time learning about Computer Vision!
