A04 L3 · Advanced 10 modules · about 40 lessons Planned · Ring 3

Part of the Applied AI track. Ships in Ring 3 (Breadth) of the roadmap.

Modules

1. Image formation and classical vision
2. Object detection
3. Semantic, instance and panoptic segmentation
4. Video understanding
5. Pose, tracking and motion
6. 3D vision and neural fields

Signature illustrations

The pictures a learner should still see in their head a year later:

Boxes, anchors and overlap, mask overlays, camera geometry, rays marching through a neural field.

Status

This course is planned, not written yet. It ships with Ring 3 (Breadth).

Every lesson will follow the same twelve-part blueprint with at least three purpose-made figures. Watch the repository to hear when modules ship, or help write and review it.
