Topics in Computer Graphics: Computational Video Manipulation

The goal of this graduate (advanced undergraduate also welcome) course is to survey recent work on computational video analysis and manipulation techniques. We will learn how to acquire, represent, edit and remix video. Several popular video manipulation algorithms will be presented, with an emphasis on using these techniques to build practical systems. Students will have the opportunity to acquire their own video and implement the processing tools needed to computationally analyze and manipulate it. The course will be project based with a substantial final project.
