We conduct workshops on two consecutive days. Each day has an eight hours session (in total 16 hours). This is properly divided into theory and hands-on sessions.

In the end we organize a small competition among the participants of the workshop so that they get real feel of competitive environment. 
 

The charges are Rs 1200 per student

The Charges includes:

• Training fee of the 2 day workshop
• Handouts and training material
• Information CD
• Participation certificate
• Additionally, a detailed manual will also be provided to each participant

The details of the workshop are as follows:

Introduction to Computer vision :

The journey in to vision robotics will start from basic discussion on vision sensors and different cameras available. We will explore the application of vision in robotics and mechatronic systems.

Digital Image Processing in Matlab :

We will start from the basics of Matlab and after that only we will explore the Image Acquisition and Image Processing toolboxes.
Image Acquisition and Processing: Here we will discuss the data structure of image acquired. The understanding for Pixels, color spaces, vector indexing and matrix indexing will be developed in this module.

Image Manipulation in Matlab:

We will deal with Adjusting image intensity, Image histogram equalisation, Using arithmetic functions to enhance images, Thresholding, Edge Detection, Template matching, Distinguishing colors, Shape Detection, frequency domain filtering and convolution.

Microcontroller Programming & Machine Control :

The final aim is to build various vision based machines.
