This website provides all participants with the necessary information for the Teleseminar Mannheim Lancaster.
It is the

Germany and
We will have a first meeting at Lancaster University in 2008, give an introduction to the topic and build the teams. In a subsequent cooperation phase of approximately 6-8 weeks, the teams will cooperate from their home locations, designing and programming software to create panoramic images (in Java). Finally, the teams will prepare a short paper, a PowerPoint presentation and a demo. We will present and discuss the results in a joint Tele-Presentation.
The goal of this course is
to learn different approaches to create panoramic images. To understand
available algorithms, we will refer
to
recent research activities and consider cylindrical, spherical, affine,
and perspective image transformation models. During the
course, the
students from
At the end of the course,
students will have gained an in-depth understanding of recent panoramic
image generation algorithms. They will have acquired the skills to
design, analyse and
implement
such a system. Additionally, they will have gained skills at
working with collaboration tools for joint
software development.
Students
should have basic knowledge of multimedia technologies and should have
participated
in an introductory class on this topic.
