Computer Vision
Teach machines to see — from detection to multimodal models
About this program
Six months on modern computer vision. Move from image fundamentals through CNNs, modern detectors (YOLO, DETR), segmentation (SAM), and into the multimodal era with CLIP and vision-language models. Lab work uses real Canadian datasets including aerial imagery for forestry and infrastructure.
