Objective: Preprocessing to enhance contrast and outline the area of interest. Then highlight in this area, the remarkable objects.
- Object detection
Objective: Detect precise shapes, their position and their number in a specific area of an image
- Classification.
Objective: Interpret the images according to the number of shapes detected and their position, then classify the images into categories.
Content of application
- Candidate’s CV
- Codes needed
- A brief presentation of the work and results (ten slides in pdf)
Selection process
