Presentation: March 18, 2021, 16.00-17.00 (CEST)

Workshop: March 18, 2021, 17.00-18.00 (CEST), capacity: 15 people

Computer vision topics keep cropping up in the media when it comes to self-driving cars or face recognition. It is part of AI and rapidly expanding in computer science and industry. Computer vision is also being discussed more and more frequently in GLAM institutions and the digital humanities.

The online seminar introduces this area of image processing and artificial intelligence. The various fields of application and methods are presented using examples from art and cultural heritage of Early Modernity.

The workshop is intended to encourage people to try out and evaluate these possibilities.

The focus will be exploring images by similarity, retrieval, object- and pose detection as well as some approaches to composition.

Since computer vision is a leading field in machine learning and AI, methods are presented as examples that can also be transferred to other areas.
