The MSc in INTELLIGENT VISION at the University of Lincoln (UK)
**********************************************************************************
is now ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for 2023-24 ENTRY.
Note that places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
If you are considering this programme, we recommend applying now rather than later to avoid disappointment.
This is a one-year (full-time) or two-years (part-time) MSc degree programme, consisting of taught courses (105 credits) plus a seminar based course (15 credits) and a research project and dissertation (60 credits). (Note: students who need a Tier-4 VISA to study in the UK can only register for the full-time pathway).
It is designed for students with a good degree in physical (computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering) sciences, however, individuals with different backgrounds but commensurate experience will also be considered.
The core modules of this course include:
(a) Advanced artificial intelligence (theoretical fundamentals and practical applications of decision-making, problem-solving and learning abilities in software agents)
(b) Advanced machine learning (theoretical fundamentals and practical application of supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement and evolutionary learning)
(c) Computer Vision (applications of computer vision in object recognition/tracking, medical image analysis, multimedia indexing and retrieval and intelligent surveillance systems)
(d) Neural Computing (fundamentals of an emergent specialised area of computer science that is concerned to describe how the brain computes by simplifying neuronal biology to a set of equations)
(e) Big Data Analytics and Modelling (a range of aspects in collecting, transforming, processing, analysing and make inferences out of large amounts of data, which can either be signals or visual data)
(f) Applied signal and image processing (a range of aspects in capturing, processing, analysing and interpreting n-dimensional signal and image content)
(g) Research methods (fundamental skills and background knowledge students need to undertake a research project including: surveying literature; selecting and justifying a research topic; planning of research; selection of appropriate research methods; evaluation of research; presentation and reporting of research; and legal, social, ethical and professional considerations)
(h) Frontiers in machine learning and computer vision (a seminar based module about the state of the art in machine learning and computer vision research, including an understanding of the theoretical developments and current applications in the field)
(i) Research project
The final research project can be carried out ‘in house’ or in collaboration with an external partner, either from academia or industry.
