Vasek Hlavac's teaching/tutorial presentations
(if interested in lectures in the Czech language then click here)

I created several teaching presentations during my teaching and writing textbooks. I like to make the material available to other teachers or students for noncommercial purposes. I try to keep updating my lectures and this gradually propagates to the teaching material. Most of my presentations are created in LaTeX and I provide the .pdf files. If an instructor intends to get a source code and images then I ask him to write me an email. Sometimes, I use Powerpoint.

I look at the web time to time to see how my other colleagues teach. I appreciate those who provide their material to the others. Sometimes, I evolve an idea seen elsewhere and include it into my presentation. I am not always able to acknowledge the original source of the idea because the ideas propagate to teaching presentations of others quickly. Allow me to express my gratitude to many of you en block for your stimuli.

I will appreciate the feedback from you, pointers to mistakes, suggestions for improvements, links to a better treatment of the topic, etc. Please, send me an email.

The numbers used as prefixes in the directory and the file names have only an auxiliary function. They help me to keep the proper ordering of directories or several presentations in the same directory. The sequence of used number is sparse by purpose to allow me to include future lectures in between if needed.

Image processing
Lecture File
I teach image processing to a huge amount of bachelor program students. My talks are mostly in Czech. If you understand it then see the Czech variant. However, I plan to convert lectures to English to provide presentations to the recently published book Sonka, Hlavac, Boyle: Image Processing, Analysis, and Machine Vision, 3rd Edition, Thomson Engineering, Toronto, Canada, April 2007. None.
