Example Exam Questions

Posted by Erik Meijering Friday 02 August 2024, 06:23:39 PM.

Hi Students,

We have compiled a series of example exam questions (with answers). See WebCMS3 > COMP9517 24T2 > Course Work > Assessments > Exam. The document also provides some further information 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! If anything is unclear, please post your questions on the forum.

Group project peer review

Posted by Andrew Gunawan Thursday 01 August 2024, 11:35:35 AM.

Dear Students,

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. Please complete this activity by Friday, 2 August 2024, 6:00 PM.

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.

Best Regards,
Andrew

COMP9517 24T2 Exam Period

Posted by Erik Meijering Monday 22 July 2024, 03:32:06 PM.

Dear Students,

The COMP9517 24T2 final exam has been scheduled for Friday 9 August 2024 and will be on campus in the CSE labs.

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.

The final exam will in principle consist of multiple-choice questions. The sample questions included at the end of the lectures are representative of the sort of questions you can expect. We hope to release some more sample questions by the end of Week 10.

To be continued,
Erik

myExperience Survey

Posted by Erik Meijering Monday 22 July 2024, 11:50:25 AM.

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

UNSW Plagiarism Policy

Posted by Erik Meijering Monday 08 July 2024, 10:05:02 AM.

Dear Students,

It has come to our attention that some students are considering using ghost writers to complete some of the group project tasks. Hiring a person or using generative AI to do your work and presenting it as your own is plagiarism.

Please be reminded of the UNSW Plagiarism Policy (see also Course Outline > Assessments > General Assessment Information and Course Outline > Other Useful Information > Academic Honesty and Plagiarism).

All submissions will be checked extensively for plagiarism. Following university guidelines, the markers will be using advanced tools to screen for this and report any cases.

We have an ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of learning informed by academic integrity. Thanks to all of you for adhering to and promoting this principle.

Lab2 Submission Notice

Posted by Piumi Don Simonge Saturday 15 June 2024, 04:03:23 PM.

Dear students,

As you are supposed to use your own images as input for Lab 2 tasks, we recommend you attach the input images alongside your notebook file so that the tutors can check your answers if necessary. To accommodate this, we have increased the Lab 2 submission size limit to 12 Mb . Please try to respect the file size limit by compressing the input images and keeping the output image resolution (within the notebook) at a reasonably lower level (as the tutors will be able to rerun your code anyway).
If you have any questions please let us know or post them to Ed.

Lab Submissions

Posted by Andrew Gunawan Wednesday 12 June 2024, 07:09:54 PM.

Hi Students,

There seems to be some confusion regarding submission of Labs. This is to clarify that you do not have to submit your input images or output images for the labs unless the spec specifically asks for it. Simply submit your ipynb but make sure you have run it all and we can see the outputs in the notebook.

Happy coding,

Andrew

Fortunately, we also have the recording of the online session, which does show the slides.

Lab 1 Specification Released

Posted by Erik Meijering Monday 03 June 2024, 02:46:47 PM.

Hi Students,

The Lab 1 specification is now available under WebCMS3 > COMP9517 > Course Work > Assessments > Lab 1.

Please note that some of the lab topics are covered in this week's lectures. So don't stress out when you read the lab specification and there are things in there that you haven't heard about yet.

Just repeating what I said in an earlier announcement: Each lab is about topics taught in the lectures of the same week. We release the lab specification early in the week to give you more time to have a look before coming to the lectures and prepare for the tutor session of that week.

The deadline for Lab 1 submission is Week 3, Friday 14 June 2024, 18:00:00 Sydney time.

If you have any questions, feel free to discuss with your tutors this week or ask on the forum.

The link to your tutor session will be posted on Moodle and announced shortly.

Lab Preparations

Posted by Erik Meijering Thursday 30 May 2024, 09:22:08 AM.

Hi everyone,

As mentioned in yesterday's lecture, the labs and online tutor sessions will start next week . The course admin will soon inform you which tutor group you're part of and how to access your tutor session.

In all labs in this course, you are required to submit your code in the form of a Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb file). Submissions in any other form will not be marked.

If you're not yet familiar with Jupyter, or Python, or OpenCV, you are highly encouraged to install the necessary software and learn the basics before the labs start . To help you with that, we have prepared a document with useful links. See WebCMS3 > Course Work > Assessments > Lab Preparations.

In the first tutor session, the tutors can help you with any questions about the software and the lab tasks . We plan to release the first lab early next week so that you can already have a look before coming to the session.

Please note that each lab is about topics taught in the lectures of the same week . Since the tutor sessions are (unfortunately, outside our control) centrally scheduled immediately after the first lecture of the week, the lab specification may not make much sense to you until after the lecture. But at least it should give you some idea of what's expected and it will become clearer after you've heard the lectures.

To give you multiple opportunities to ask questions about any lab, we aim to release each lab early in the week, with a due date late the week after , so that there are always two tutor sessions between the release date and the due date. And, of course, you can always ask anything via the Q+A Forum on Ed.

Cheers,
Erik

Project Groups and Tutor groups

Posted by Andrew Gunawan Monday 27 May 2024, 10:38:06 AM.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the course. As Erik may have mentioned, this term, you will form groups of 5 to complete a team project in the second half of the course. Please form your groups by going to the Groups section and either clicking create or join. Project groups need to be formed by week 5, we will remind everyone again a little closer to the deadline.

We will also be assigning students to their tutor groups this week. Please note, you do not have to be in the same tutor group to be in a project group together. However, we will try to assign any project groups that have formed by the end of this week to the same tutor group, so please form the groups early if you would like to be in the same tutor group. There won't be any opportunity to change tutor groups once assigned.

Hope you enjoy the course,

Andrew

Online Lecture Links

Posted by Erik Meijering Sunday 26 May 2024, 04:18:41 PM.

Cheers,
Erik

COMP9517 Q+A Forum

Posted by Erik Meijering Sunday 26 May 2024, 04:14:58 PM.

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.

Welcome to COMP9517 24T2

Posted by Erik Meijering Thursday 23 May 2024, 01:53:39 PM.

Dear Students,

Welcome to COMP9517 2024 Term 2 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 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 Wednesday 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 them . This is because the room (OShane 104) has a maximum capacity of only 497 while we have about 800 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.

While the lectures and the final exam will be on campus, everything else will be online this term. We will keep you posted weekly via WebCMS3 to help you stay on track with all activities.

On behalf of the entire COMP9517 24T2 Team, which includes Co-Lecturer Dr Dong Gong, several Guest Lecturers (TBC), the two Course Admins Andrew Gunawan and Piumi Don Simonge, and 30 Tutors, I wish you a great time learning about Computer Vision!

If anything is unclear, use the Q+A Forum on Ed for any questions about the course (see the link in the menu panel on WebCMS3). The forum is monitored daily and we do our best to answer within 24 hours.
