VISUAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
CSE4VIS
2019
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject covers an overview of visual information access, image representation, feature extraction, image recognition and understanding, and content-based image retrieval techniques. Design issues on facial image recognition and content-based image retrieval systems for image database management will be addressed, which contain eigenface technology, image feature extraction, indexing, similarity measure, lower-bounding lemma and performance evaluation. Practice on facial image recognition (FIR) will be offered in Labs.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Define the technologies used in visual information systems.
- Activities:
- Students are required to complete the questions related to the specific information and knowledge in the exam papers. Lecture topic 1 on the introduction of visual information systems.
02. Evaluate the major issues in visual data recognition, content-based image database management, and describe how to effectively represent visual data for visual information processing.
- Activities:
- Students are required to complete all questions related to the specific techniques for visual data modelling, image database management and visual information retrieval in the exam papers. Lectures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are on visual data representation, features and similarity, Facial Image Recognition, retrieval systems fundamentals.
03. Research and implementation of Facial Image Recognition (FIR) systems.
- Activities:
- One assignment on facial image recognition and 8 laboratories exercises, plus one group assignment on forensic image recognition. Lab 1 to Lab 8 are on FIR system implementation. MATLAB will be used to implement the FIR system.
04. Evaluate the significance of image recognition techniques for real world applications.
- Activities:
- Students are required to complete some questions related to the specific techniques for image recognition and its applications in the exam papers. Lectures 8, 9, 10, 11 are on Recognition Systems Fundamentals, Feature-based Classifiers, Handwritten Numeral Recognition, and Face Image Recognition.
