DESCRIPTION | This course aims to provide an introduction to the fundamental knowledge of physical systems modeled with discrete state space and event driven transitions. Discrete Event Systems (DES) arise in the modeling of many engineering domains, such as automated manufacturing systems, communication networks, software systems, process control systems, and transportation systems. This course will introduce a unified modeling framework and emphasize the analysis and control of DES. Basics of automata and language theory are presented first as mathematical preliminaries. Then comes a detailed treatment of state estimation, diagnosis, security and supervisory control theory of DES based on automata model. Topics of other DES models like Petri nets, timed and hybrid automata are also covered towards the end of the course. |

DESCRIPTION | Light traveling in the 3D world interacts with the scene through intricate processes before being captured by a camera. These processes result in the dazzling effects like color and shading, complex surface and material appearance, different weathering, just to name a few. Physics based vision aims to invert the processes to recover the scene properties, such as shape, reflectance, light distribution, medium properties, etc., from the images by modelling and analyzing the imaging process to extract desired features or information. This course introduces the advanced methodologies in the context of physical-based vision for robotics and autonomous systems. We will introduce diverse techniques, covering from traditional methods based on hand-crafted features to recent deep learning methods. Apart from the fundamental knowledge in physical-based vision, the students will also have opportunities to discover and learn cutting-edge methodologies in popular physical-based vision topics (i.e., bad-weather restoration, shadow detection and removal, specular highlight detection and removal, intrinsic image decomposition, reflection detection and removal, and so on) of the physical-based vision, aligning with the substantial developments in robotics, autonomous driving, UAVs, etc. |

DESCRIPTION | Any autonomous agent we develop must perceive and act in a 3D world. The ability to infer, model, and utilize 3D representations is therefore of central importance in AI, with applications ranging from robotic manipulation and self-driving to virtual reality and image manipulation. While 3D understanding has been a longstanding goal in computer vision, it has witnessed several impressive advances due to the rapid recent progress in (deep) learning techniques. The goal of this course is to explore this confluence of 3D Vision and Learning-based methods. In particular, this course will cover topics including - • Explicit, Implicit, and Neural 3D Representations • Differentiable Rendering • Single-view 3D Prediction: Objects, Scenes, and Humans • Neural Rendering • Multi-view 3D Inference: Radiance Fields, Multi-plane Images, Implicit Surfaces, etc. • Generative 3D Models • Shape Abstraction • Mesh and Point cloud processing |
