Learning objectives:

- Learn how to implement a complete, fully functional, deep learning solution for a contemporary computer vision challenge using MATLAB.
- Get acquainted with representative contemporary datasets, challenges and problems in computer vision and machine learning.
- Learn how to use deep neural networks under the paradigm of transfer learning.
- Demonstrate the ability to perform model selection, fine-tuning, and performance evaluation of different solutions to the same problem.

This is a lab project for an upper undergraduate or early graduate-level course in Digital Image Processing, Computer Vision, or Deep Learning. It could be used as the final (term) project for the course.

Students will typically need 2-3 weeks to produce high-quality results. They should be familiar with MATLAB, Image Processing, Machine Learning and Deep Learning (at least at the level of the corresponding Onramps).
