LAST YEAR'S WEBPAGE -- Has lecture notes, projects, etc...

=======================

Class Meetings: Tues/Thurs 3:30-5:00 
                             Room 342, 1890 Maple Avenue

Syllabus: IBMR_Syllabus2004.pdf (Last Revised 4/27/2004)

Textbook:  Handouts + 
Introductory Techniques for 3-D Computer Vision
Emanuele Trucco and Alessandro Verri, Prentice Hall, (1998) WEBSITE

Our previous textbook is also helpful (you'll get handouts), but not required:
 Multiple View Geometry  in Computer Vision
Richard Hartley and Andrew Zisserman, Cambridge University Press (c)2000.

LookLab: Rm 227 (no phone). 

--I recommend doing assigned readings BEFORE attending class.  
    You'll have better questions (strongly encouraged) and you're less likely to fall behind. 
--Please don't skip class to work on your project: 
    instead, come to class and ask/learn how to do the hard parts. It's far more efficient.

Helpful Online Reading Materials: 
Essential OpenGL:
   The OpenGL Programming Guide
3rd Edition: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL, Version 1.2 (e.g. "The Red Book")  Mason Woo, OpenGL Architecture Review Board, Jackie Neider, Tom Davis, Dave Shreiner ISBN 0201604582paperback.  

Also consider OpenGL Reference Manual, 3rd Edition
