Hi Students,
As mentioned in yesterday's lecture, the labs and online tutor consultation sessions will start in Week 2 (not Week 1). The course admin will soon inform you which tutor group you're in 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 (Week 2), 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 Course Forum (see link in the WebCMS3 menu).
Cheers,Erik
Dear Students,
Throughout the term there will be various ways to ask questions and get answers:
1. During lectures (in person). You are welcome to raise your hand at any time if you want to ask a question during the lectures. Also halfway into each lecture, when we have a small break, and at the end of each lecture, you are welcome to come to the front and discuss with the lecturer (of course there will be limited time for this).
2. During tutorial sessions (online). Every week (except the first week) there will be a one-hour tutorial 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 on the course forum (online). You will find the link to the forum in the menu on WebCMS3. Please sign up and enroll as soon as possible. The team will attempt to answer questions within 24 hours.
Best wishes,Dear Students,
Welcome to COMP9517 2026 Term 3 starting this 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 Friday lectures will be on campus and online at the same time (11:00-13:00), as per the Timetable (see the menu on WebCMS3). Links to the online lectures are available via the Moodle page of the course (under Lecture Recordings).
Please come to the on-campus lectures only if you signed up for them . This is because there may be more students in the course than the capacity of the lecture room (Sir John Clancy Auditorium). Of course, the lectures will be recorded, so you can also just watch them afterwards (lecture attendance is not mandatory).
All tutorials (consultation sessions) will be held online. Note that for privacy reasons the tutorials will not be recorded, so do attend these sessions at the indicated times if you want to make use of them (they are not mandatory though).
On behalf of the entire COMP9517 26T3 Team, which includes Co-Lecturer Dr Dong Gong and our Course Admin Haonan Zhong and all our Tutors, I wish you a great time learning about Computer Vision!
We will keep you posted weekly via WebCMS3 to help you stay on track with all activities. If anything is unclear, use the Course Forum to ask your questions (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
