MSc Visual Computing

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Multi dimensional processing and the generation of real and virtual data have a multitude of applications in our world today. Image processing systems are used widely in medical systems, space and remote sensing, video processing, security and biometrics, while computer graphics are the cornerstone for games, animation, geometric modelling, virtual reality, and other applications.

However, a gap exists between imaging experts and graphics experts, and there is a need for well-qualified professionals with expertise in these areas to take a lead in exploiting and developing existing and new visual technologies. The MSc Visual Computing, located in the School of Computing, Informatics and Media (SCIM), aims to:

• equip you with a mastery of state-of-the-art technologies in the fields of image processing, computer vision and graphics and their different real-life applications;
• equip you with a mastery of multidisciplinary skills that enables them to process real-life multidimensional data;
• facilitate mastery of the application and development of appropriate technologies and evaluation methods; and
• enable you to master the combination and integration of practical and theoretical methods to solve real-life problems using image processing, machine learning, computer vision and computer graphics.
