3. What is next?

In this course, we not only learn the basic knowledge of computer vision, but also apply and transform the knowledge into practical projects as well as further research topics.

Rubing Chen, Wengyu Zhang, Yiyang Jiang, as year 2 undergraduate students, took the course in 2023, and Tianyi Zhang, as a year 3 undergraduate student, took the course in 2024. They were further joined the PolySmart Group as student assistants for research and development projects.
