Latest news

Previous examinations have been corrected. They are now in english and in pdf

1. There is no lecture tuesday 13 october. This lecture is replaced by the extra labs that have been put into the schedule

2. There will be an extra lab occation wed. 21 october 13-17

3. You can bring the lecture notes "Geometric Computing In Image Analysis and Visualization" to the exam. (No other material except for standard math formulas)

4. If you have problems with dates for the exam, please mail me

Examination and bonus points:

Examination is 5 problems 5 points each. For passing you require 10 - 15 points. The labs contain 3 parts. If these are handed in before specific deadlines (see the schedule) you will acquire certain bonus point to be added to the exam points. Part 1: 1 point Part 2: 2 points Part 3: 1 point, i.e. 4 points in total In order to pass the course you have to: Complete the lab and and pass the exam
