Multiscale Methods and Computer Vision

Course will address some basic multiscale computational methods such as: multigrid solvers for physical systems, including both geometric and algebraic multigrid, fast integral transforms of various kinds (including a fast Radon transform), and fast inverse integral transforms. Basic problems in computer vision such as global contour detection and their completion over gaps, image segmentation for textural images and perceptual grouping tasks in general will be explained in more details.
