3 Days Visual Analytics (VA) Workshop by NTU ROSE Lab

Target Audience:
This workshop is an introductory workshop targeted at managers, end-users, and developers who want to know more about visual analytics.

Training Outcome:
By the end of the workshop, participants should have a basic understanding of computer vision and image/video processing, and the common algorithms and approaches used.  Participants will also learn about how machine-learning techniques can be used to develop visual analytics applications.

Pre-requisites:

Computer Vision Foundation and Object Search

  1. Undergraduate level mathematics
  2. Basic knowledge on computer vision
  3. Basic knowledge on image/video processing

Machine Learning and Deep Learning

  1. Algebraic equation basics (linear equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b)
  2. Linear Algebra basics
