MS in Computer Vision Overview
Computer vision is a dynamic field of study that allows computers to acquire, process, and analyze data from digital images or videos in real time. The rapid development of computer vision has had an immense impact on technologies such as autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics, data analytics, surveillance systems, and more. As the demand for scientists and engineers trained in this field grows, the Master of Science in Computer Vision will prepare you to thrive in this new age of technology.
In this program, you will build upon your foundation in mathematics and high-level programming and be given the opportunity to build your own computer vision technologies to solve real-world problems. By the time you complete the program, you will be fluent in tools and techniques that have multiple applications across industries such as manufacturing, medicine, big data, and security, just to name a few.
If you are excited to be a part of rapidly expanding research efforts and advancements in computer vision, the MS in Computer Vision program is for you.
