Course Syllabus
Readings: The course textbook Foundations of Vision (1995, Wandell) is online
Grading: Homework counts for 50% of your grade; the project counts for 50%.
Homework: Students are given weekly problem sets comprising either short answer questions or small programming problems in Matlab. The programming often relies on the tools in (ISETCAM). The toolbox and tutorials can be run from any computer running Matlab which is now freely available to all Stanford students.
Problem sets are done through the "Quizzes" page on Canvas. Quiz problems may be multiple choice, short answer, or may require you to upload code or figures. You can work on the assignment throughout the week and save your progress, but you must submit your final solutions before the due date. Typically quizzes will be open at midnight on Tuesday and due the following Tuesday, at midnight.
Project: Project suggestions and opportunities will be described in class. This year projects will emphasize the use of computer graphics simulation tools, image systems simulation tools, and biomedical imaging applications. Projects can be done in groups of 2-3.

Course recording
Video cameras located in the back of the room will capture the instructor presentations in this course. For your convenience, you can access these recordings by logging into the course Canvas site. These recordings might be reused in other Stanford courses, viewed by other Stanford students, faculty, or staff, or used for other education and research purposes. Note that while the cameras are positioned with the intention of recording only the instructor, occasionally a part of your image or voice might be incidentally captured. If you have questions, please contact a member of the teaching team.
