We will be using GitLab for the assignments this year. Each team will be provided a repository at https://gitlab.cs.uni-saarland.de where we will push the code for the assignment problems, and the teams would complete the assignment by submitting their code to the repository. Further details will be provided in the first tutorial.
In order to create these repositories, please check that you have an account on https://gitlab.cs.uni-saarland.de, or create an account at https://sam.sic.saarland/users/student_signup/. In most cases you should already have an account with the same username as your university email username (you might have to reset your password).
Once this is done, please provide your account username in the CMS at https://cms.sic.saarland/hlcvss23/students/view#note5 by April 24, 2023.

Lecture Recordings from last yearHi all,

The course this year will be conducted in-person and the lectures and tutorials will not be recorded. However, as an additional reference, after each lecture we will provide the recording of the closest related lecture (if one exists) from HLCV 2022. These will be made available in the Materials section in the CMS: https://cms.sic.saarland/hlcvss23/materials/
Please note however that the contents of the lectures this year may substantially differ from those of last year. We would also likely have lectures covering completely new topics that were not covered last year, for which no related recording exists.
So the recordings will not cover all topics and should only be used as an additional reference, and we recommend that you attend all the lectures.

High-Level Computer Vision
Overview
This course will cover essential techniques for high-level computer vision. These techniques facilitate semantic interpretation of visual data, as it is required for a broad range of applications like robotics, driver assistance, multi-media retrieval, surveillance, etc. In this area, the recognition and detection of objects, activities, and visual categories have seen dramatic progress over the last decade. We will discuss the methods that have led to a state-of-the-art performance in this area and provide the opportunity to gather hands-on experience with these techniques.
