Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. We start with a brief survey of feature extraction for tracking purposes.       
2. Notions, such as optical flow and visual velocity field are introduced.       
3. This is followed by an analytical decomposition of the mapping properties of projected three
dimensional rigid body motion onto a temporal image sequence. 
     
4. An equally brief survey of statistical calibration techniques
to produce a model of motion and shape rounds up this short course.
