Hi Students,
Just a quick note to please carefully read and follow the instructions when submitting your work either through webcms or the command line. Pay attention to the format and file size accepted, and include only what is asked for in the spec. Please also check that the system accepts the work and responds with a success message to avoid losing marks due to us being unable to access your work.
Hope the lab exercises are making sense.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder to form your project groups if you want to, which as you know will consist of 5 members. Please use the groups function in webcms to do this. To note, these members do not have to be in the same tutorial. If you are not in a group or your group does not have 5 members, we will assign you to a group or fill up your group will randomly assigned members. We will be finalising group in around week 5, to be confirmed closer to the date.
Please note that group will not be changing after this so please form your groups earlier if you want to do the project with your friends etc.
Contact us at cs9517@cse.unsw.edu.au if you have any questions
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi everyone,
Please find your tutorial groups in the list provided under the Tutorials heading.
There, you should be able to find your zID along with the group number and the tutors who will be leading the group. To maintain a balanced number of students per group, you can only access the group link in Moodle that you are assigned to.
If you have any questions or there are any issues, please get in touch via email cs9517@cse.unsw.edu.au
Kind regards,
Haonan
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 post: 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 20 June 2025, 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 can be found on the Moodle page under Online Tutorials.
Cheers,
Erik
Hi Everyone,
You should all have been assigned to a tutorial session. We will be using blackboard collab and you can find a link to the session on Moodle under "Online Tutorials". Please note that sometimes the link will be hidden as the list is collapsed under the heading which you can expand.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Andrew
Hi everyone, the slides of the Week 1 lectures, including an updated version of the introduction and the slides of today's lecture, are now available under WebCMS3 > COMP9517 > Course Work > Lectures > Week 1. Cheers, Erik
Hi Students,
As mentioned in yesterday's lecture, the labs and online tutor sessions will start next week (no tutor session today). The course admins 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 (next week), 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 . This means that when the lab specification is released early in the week, some (or all) of the tasks may not be totally clear to you until after the lectures. But at least it gives you some idea of what's expected and it will become clearer while listening to 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
Hi everyone,
Some students have reported that today's lecture live stream on Echo360 did not work. Apologies if you were unable to attend the online lecture.
We did request the school to activate the live stream for COMP9517 last week. I have just asked them to fix the problem as soon as possible. Hopefully they will be able to do so before tomorrow's lecture.
Today's lecture recording is now available on Echo360.
Best regards,
Erik
Hi Students,
If you are attending the lectures online (starting this afternoon), you should be able to access them via Moodle > Lecture Recordings, and there just click the current lecture (the link should open up a couple of minutes before the start of the lecture).
Best regards,
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 a 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 the group project (more details on these will follow). 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. 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 2025 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 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 (4-6 PM), as per the Timetable (see the menu on WebCMS3). Links to the online lectures will be available via the Moodle page of the course.
Please come to the on-campus lectures only if you signed up for them . This is because there are more students in the course than the maximum capacity of the room (OShane 104). Of course, the lectures will be recorded, so you can also just watch them afterwards (lecture attendance is not compulsory).
In the past few years, the course has grown significantly in terms of student numbers, 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 25T2 Team, which includes Co-Lecturer Dr Dong Gong and the two Course Admins Andrew Gunawan and Haonan Zhong, and our 20 Tutors, I wish you a great time learning about Computer Vision!
If anything is unclear,
use the Q&A Forum 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
