Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Demonstrate and understanding of the fundamental techniques for 3D data acquisition and analysis.
Show the knowledge of 3D data capture and extraction of information from 3D data.
Demonstrate awareness of relevant literature on 3D imaging and analysis.
Demonstrate capability to communicate concepts and ideas within 3D data processing.
Brief description
This module will equip students with the fundamental concepts and technniques for 3D data acquisition and analysis mainly through lecture delivery, programme demonstration and laboratory practicals. It will then help the students gain clear understanding of the interactions between these two components and inspiration to develop novel hardware and software for 3D data acquisition and processing in the real world.
