General information concerning education:

Welcome!

We - and that is all CVMT staff - are looking forward to share with you our knowledge, our pleasure as well sweat and tears that inevitably is associated with studying and pursuing such scientific fields of intriguing complexity like computer vision and computer graphics (visualisation). "Vision is hard" we are told by our international prophets, and all at CVMT agree.

So why do we then go on with it? The fact is that we like it - very much so - and possibly for different reasons. By trying to "simulate" aspects of human visual perception (HVP), or trying to provide useful and pleasing input to HVP, we will always face fundamental as well as practical challenges, that may relate to any state in the range from hard core theoretical and technical science via biological, physiological, and psychological perception to "usability" aspects of our technology, where user oriented concerns are inspiring our research and development of technical "Tools".

But why have you chosen VGIS/CVG as specialization? Obviously we don't know, but we know a lot of good reasons, which you might have had. However, whatever your motivation was, there is chance of finding a staff member with a similar "soft spot".

And I should also mention the obvious. Images, imaging, and image information is involved in all branches of commercial, industrial, and public life, - and the general technological developments enable us - you - to further develop and apply our technology in an ever increasing number of contexts. Hence, when you have got your VGIS/CVG Diploma, the world is open to you with a richness of career opportunities. Just see for yourself.

There is such a lot of interesting and different challenges ahead of you, and you have many good reasons to be happy for your choice. We congratulate you, and advice that you prepare your self for enjoying it with us.
Welcome to our world of visions!

Erik Granum,
professor of information systems, head of CVMT

Semester meetings and coordinator

• Semester co-ordinator: Thomas B. Moeslund, Office 3-109
• Semester Meetings: A semester meeting will be held after 1. and 2. period. They will be announced by the semester co-ordinator.

Projects and Supervisors

• Use of Laboratory equipment: Special CVMT laboratory equipment may be available to student projects on permission of the supervisor
  
• Group meetings with supervisor: The groups should assume the responsibility for regularly calling for meetings with the supervisor, - weekly or at least twice every month. The group prepares an Agenda prior to the meeting, takes minutes during the meeting, and provide the supervisor with a brief version of the minutes the day after the meeting. The agenda should cover at least the following points:
• "Siden sidst" (report on efforts and progress since last meeting)
• "Aktuelle problemer" (current problems, theory and praxis)
• "Status i forhold til tidsplan" (status in relation to project plan and time schedule)
  
• "Plan indtil næste møde" (what should be done and achieved before next meeting.
  
• Midterm Seminar: Half way through the semester it is time to have a look at overall status and progress for the project work. All students and staff of CVMT are invited to a seminar where each group will present their project topic, status, and plans for the rest of the term.  An electronic "Proceedings" of abstracts from each project will be available prior to the seminar.
  
• "Lang afgang": Those who will do a combined 9th and 10th semester project will have a review meeting in January 2008 for which a brief report and a presentation should be prepared. Details are arranged with the supervisor.

PE-Questions in VGIS/CVG

The purpose of this list of questions is twofold. First of all it provides a service to the students as the questions cover the core issues in each lecture, that is, the list provides a focus of attention. The second purpose is to assist the supervisors at the project exams when they feel it appropriate to ask questions within the topics covered in the courses.

Practical Issues

• Login at CVMT: All students need a login at VR Media Lab, which you can get by filling in the form at http://www.vrmedialab.dk/net/username/stud.html.
• Group directory: All groups should ask for a group directory. By that a group email is created which should be used for communication with the supervisor.
• Access card to the laboratory: Fill in the form at http://www.vrmedialab.dk/net/accesscard.html and talk to Thorsten Gudmundsen
• Computer and network: Questions should be directed to Thorsten.

CVMT library

Access to CVMT's library, publications, and copies of former students' reports can be found at http://www.cvmt.dk/publications
