Group project peer review

Posted by Piumi Don Simonge Sunday 17 November 2024, 06:57:04 PM.

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, 22 November 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, Piumi.

Example Exam Questions

Posted by Erik Meijering Friday 15 November 2024, 05:45:12 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 in the coming weeks! If anything is unclear, please post your questions on the forum.

Cheers,
Erik

Dear Students,

Following up on the message I posted yesterday regarding this week's lectures:

The Wednesday lecture session will be hosted by A/Professor Yang Song and myself, and thus will be most suited for those of you who have questions about the lectures of weeks 1-5 and 9.

The Thursday lecture session will be hosted by Dr Sonit Singh and myself, and will focus on the lectures of weeks 7 and 8 about deep learning, though you can still ask questions about the other weeks as well.

Cheers,
Erik

Week 10 Lectures Online Only (Not On Campus)

Posted by Erik Meijering Tuesday 12 November 2024, 08:36:50 PM.

Dear Students,

We have come to the final lecture week of this term, and no doubt you are all very busy completing the group project. Since we have already covered a lot of topics in the past weeks, we have decided to teach no new examinable material this week .

The two lecture time slots this week, Wednesday 2-4pm and Thursday 4-6pm, will instead be used as consultation sessions with the lecturers . If you have any questions about the concepts and methods we have presented, and would like us to revisit things, please use this opportunity to chat with us online using the links on Moodle as usual.

Also, tomorrow we will make several guest lectures available on Echo360 , given by colleagues in the school and collaborators, showcasing advanced applications of computer vision. These lectures have already been recorded and you can watch them at a time that suits you, or you can use the Wednesday and Thursday lecture time slots for that if you have no questions.

Best regards,
Erik, Yang, Sonit

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

RoboCup@Home Recruitment

Posted by Erik Meijering Friday 01 November 2024, 02:01:53 PM.

Dear Students,

Annalise Tran from the RoboCup@Home team asked me to share the following message:

RoboCup is an international competition and conference that is at the forefront of Robotics and AI development. You may have heard of the soccer robots, but did you know that there are many other leagues that partake in the competition?

One of those is the RoboCup@Home league where our aim is to build and develop general purpose robots that can help in domestic environments. Being part of the team is an exciting opportunity to see many components such as computer vision, robotic manipulation and navigation, NLP and knowledge representation all working together in real-world applications.

We are looking for enthusiastic students to get involved! For our computer vision work in particular we are looking at improving our object detection model, generating grasp points and creating a data generation pipeline. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact robocup.home@cse.unsw.edu.au

Please contact Annalise Tran directly using the above email address.

Best regards,
Erik

COMP9517 24T3 Exam Day

Posted by Erik Meijering Tuesday 29 October 2024, 12:31:24 PM.

Dear Students,

The COMP9517 24T3 final exam has been scheduled for Tuesday 3 December 2024 and will be on campus in the CSE labs.

More specifically, the exam will be 2 hours (max) plus 15 minutes setup. Since we have more students in the course than we can accommodate in the CSE labs, the exam will be in two sessions (with corralling to prevent communication between groups).

The times of the two sessions are 10:45-13:00 and 13:25-15:40. We do not know yet who will sit in what session. Closer to the exam period, the school will provide more details about the procedure and if/how you can sign up for a particular session.

The final exam will 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 plan to release some more sample questions by the end of Week 10.

To be continued,
Erik

Tutorial Groups and Project Groups

Posted by Andrew Gunawan Monday 16 September 2024, 11:28:50 AM.

Hi Students,

This week tutorials will start. Everyone should have been allocated to a Tutorial, which you can find in Tutorials>Tutorial Groups. Please let us know ASAP if you cannot see your zID in the list by emailing cs9517@cse.unsw.edu.au . Students should be able to see links in Moodle in the next day or so to join their tutorial.

As you might know, towards the end of this term, you will be completing a project in groups of 5. Students can form groups in the Groups section of webcms. Please note that forming groups is optional, students without a group will be assigned to one, and groups with less that 5 members will have additional members assigned to them. Also, students do not need to be in the same tutorial to join the same project group.

Have a great experience this term and let us know if there are any issues!

Regards,

Andrew

Lab Preparations

Posted by Erik Meijering Thursday 12 September 2024, 08:37:08 AM.

Hi Students,

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 centrally scheduled 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.

Week 1 Lecture Slides Available

Posted by Erik Meijering Wednesday 11 September 2024, 08:15:22 PM.

Hi everyone, the slides of the Week 1 lectures are now available under WebCMS3 > COMP9517 > Course Work > Lectures > Week 1. Cheers, Erik

Online Lecture Links

Posted by Erik Meijering Wednesday 11 September 2024, 07:39:31 AM.

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 (expand the section to see the links). Where possible, the slides will be made available via WebCMS3 before the lecture (except the first lecture) under Course Work > Lectures.

Cheers,
Erik

COMP9517 Q+A Forum

Posted by Erik Meijering Thursday 05 September 2024, 03:44:41 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 menu on WebCMS3. The platform we are using for this is 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 24T3

Posted by Erik Meijering Thursday 05 September 2024, 03:42:27 PM.

Dear Students,

Welcome to COMP9517 2024 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 on WebCMS3) for more details on what to expect and what's expected in this course.

The course will be delivered in hybrid mode . That is, both the Wednesday and the Thursday lectures will be on campus and online at the same time, as per the Timetable (see the menu on WebCMS3). Links to the online lectures will be provided early next week (on the Moodle page of the course).

Please come to the on-campus lectures only if you signed up for them . This is because the room (Keith Burrows Theatre) has a maximum capacity of only 438 while we have 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 24T3 Team, which includes Co-Lecturers A/Prof. Yang Song and Dr Sonit Singh, the two Course Admins Andrew Gunawan and Piumi Don Simonge, and our 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 on WebCMS3). The forum is monitored daily and we do our best to answer within 24 hours.

Erik Meijering
Lecturer in Charge
