OUTLINING A RELEVANT UNDERGRADUATE COURSE ON COMPUTER VISION

An undergraduate advanced computer design course using virtual-prototyping

Incorporating Primary Source Material into the Undergraduate Computer Vision Curriculum

Computer vision is a very broad and rapidly changing field. A major challenge for teachers of this subject is to cover a large body of basic theory while at the same time giving a good sense of state-of-the-art research. Traditionally our fourth year undergraduate course in computer vision was taught using lectures and textbooks. We report on the results of two different alterations of the cour...

Computer assisted instruction during quarantine and computer vision syndrome

Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a set of visual, ocular, and musculoskeletal symptoms that result from long-term computer use. These symptoms include eyestrain, dry eyes, burning, pain, redness, blurred vision, etc, which increase with the duration of computer use. Currently, with the closure of schools and universities due to the continued COVID19 pandemic many universities have taken the pr...

Human Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...

An Undergraduate Course on Publishing in Neuroscience

While scientific publishing is not typically taught to undergraduate students, we believe that an in-depth exposure to this topic might prove useful to those contemplating careers in neuroscience research or scientific writing and publishing. Here we describe a course designed to introduce students to most aspects of online publishing, from the details of editing to the ethics of scientific com...
