Education in Computer Vision, Image Analysis and Robotics at CVAP

Undergraduate courses

Within the undergraduate education at KTH, the following basic courses are provided in computer vision, image analysis and robotics:

2D1420 Computer Vision, basic course (5p). (Period 3)
2D1424 Geometric Computing in Image Analysis and Visualization (4p). (Period 4)
2D1426 Robotics and Autonomous Systems (5p). (Period 4)

Course packages

If you are interested in these subjects, we recommend our specialization block (fördjupningsblock) in Computer vision and robotics as well as the broader and more systems-oriented educational profile (kompetensinriktning) entitled Autonomous systems. Students interested in medical image analysis may also consider the course package in Biomedical engineering.

Masters projects

The fields we are working in are suitable for Masters projects (examensarbeten) over a wide range of subjects. Please, contact the course administrator of the corresponding course if you are interested; see also this page.

Graduate courses

Each year, we also give one or more graduate courses. Whereas these are mainly intended for PhD students, it is our policy to keep them open to interested undergraduate students. During recent years, the following courses have been given:

PhD course in Computer Vision
Biological Vision and Psychophysics
Readings in Computer Vision

In addition, specialized and/or individualized courses are sometimes given in the areas of computer vision, mathematical methods for computer vision and medical image analysis. Please, contact the supervisors listed below for additional information.

About CVAP

This educational programme is provided by the CVAP-group (Computational Vision and Active Perception Laboratory) at NADA, which does research in computer vision and robotics concerning theories and their applications. Currently, the group consists of about 20 researchers and PhD students. The group has extensive international and national contacts, and has participated in several European and international research projects with strong interactions with several well-reputed research groups in Europe and the U.S.
