Exercises

The aim of the exercise is to teach a PhD candidate how to write a scientific paper and prove it on a domain related both to student's own research and computer vision. The exercise is conducted in a close cooperation with the instructor Dr Tomas Pajdla. The student either works on his own research paper to be submitted elsewhere which is related at least loosely to computer vision. If the student own research is too far from this subject then he is given a topic which is expected to be studied and described in a research report. After the topic is agreed with the instructor, the students works on it individually. However, the student is recommended to conduct personal consultations with the instructor regularly.
