(Sep 1) Welcome to CMSC733!
-
(Sep 16) TA not sitting in 4103 for office hours today, that room is crowded, mail the TA to meet
-
(Oct 14) Hwk 2 deadline extended to Oct 24, early deadline at Oct 15. Also, one error in Q.6, 512 buckets for histogram (8 * 8 * 8) not 256.
-
(Oct 28) TA not taking office hours today due to attending PhD defence of someone in the vision lab. Mail any questions to TA.
-
(Nov 25) If you have not done so yet, please submit your first three homeworks+midterm by Dec 7 so they are graded in time.
-
(Nov 25) No office hours today due to Thanksgiving break. TA will be available over mail.
-
(Dec 09) As there is no final exam separate from the project, the grading weights have changed. Homeworks have the extra weight distributed upon them so please submit all of them
-
(Dec 11) The grades for the Midterm, and Homeworks 1,4, and 5 are visible. If your grade is not on the server for any of these, and you have already submitted, forward that mail to the TA
-
(Dec 17) All the grades aside from the final project are visible. Make certain all your grades have been entered. Submit all remaining stuff by 19th (FINAL DEADLINE).

Reading List
We will use a few resources. For the first part of the course, we will
use material that can be found in:
- Multiple View Geometry in Computer Vision, by Hartley and Zisserman
There will also be materials given in class or posted on the website.
