Location of Université de Bourgogne, Dijon
The master course aims to provide qualifications for entry into the professions in the area of robotics, computer vision, image processing and medical imaging either in public laboratory or private research company. Over 4 semesters (120 ECTS), the students attend three universities, where all the classes will be taught in English. An introduction to Scottish, Spanish and French culture and language will be proposed to the students. The student population will be between 30 and 40 per year. The average ratio professor/student relation is approximately 1:5.
VIBOT students are required to cover the areas of studies below, over the total of 120 ECTS:
* basis of signal and image processing: software, hardware;
* tools and methods of computer vision: compression, segmentation, real-time, shape recognition, 3D vision, etc;
* robotics: fundamentals, control and programming for robot autonomy and intelligence;
* medical imaging: biologic basis, infrared imagery, X-Ray and ultrasound imagery;
* research training period or a vocational training period.
Each university articulates its offer of courses on the basis of its own approach, in such a way that the students can benefit from different cultural and scholarly flavours.
The first three semesters will successively occur in:
* FRANCE: University of Burgundy (antenna of Le Creusot) [UB]
* SPAIN: University of Girona [UdG]
* UNITED KINGDOM: Heriot-Watt University [HW]
Classes will be taught by eminent researchers from the three laboratories: VISP/OSL at Heriot- Watt, VICOROB at Girona, Le2iat Le Creusot. The last semester which can be a practical experience to research will take place in one of the laboratories of the university members of the consortium for the non-European students and in laboratories of a Third-country university partner for the European students.
An another choice for the four semester is to do a vocational training period in an European company for the non- European students and in a company in the country of the Third-country university partner for the European students.
The European Master is awarded by Burgundy, HW and Girona Universities, and countersigned by the Consortium's director. A joint degree and a diploma supplement are delivered to the students.
Contents
Masters is divided into four semesters, each having a value of 30 ECTS. The last semester consists of a training period, which is an introduction to research carried out in one of the laboratories of the (wider) network.
The contents of the various modules distributed over the three first semesters were selected with the aim of ensuring a coherent and comprehensive syllabus.
The first semester, S1, is carried out on the campus of Heriot Watt University in Scotland (UK).
Its constituting modules cover an introduction to signal and image processing theory and tools, both software and hardware (Digital Signal Processing, Software Engineering, Image Processing, Image communications and compression). It also covers the key related area of artificial intelligence. These technical subjects are supplemented by local culture studies, and specific training for drafting documents in English.
The second semester, S2 takes place in the Universitat de Girona, in Catalunya, Spain.
The different courses of this semester cover topics currently highly relevant to scientific and industrial communities. They have been designed to offer breadth of coverage through multidisciplinarity, as well as depth of knowledge in the specialization fields. In essence, we provide the knowledge necessary to take the right decisions when faced with a problem related to inspection via computer vision: the segmentation strategies, the process of object recognition and description, the acquisition of 3D information, and the application of hardware for specific real time applications. We teach how to know the different ways of giving moving robots a certain degree of autonomy, and to study the possibilities of remote operation in robotics. This semester covers: fundamentals on robotics, autonomous robots, scene segmentation and interpretation, visual perception, real time image processing and study of the local culture.
The third semester, S3, is hosted by the university Center Condorcet in Le Creusot, which is a delocalization of the University of Burgundy.
The subjects covered are: pattern recognition, image analysis (including the problems of multiresolution analysis and deconvolution). These modules are supplemented by the study of various types of image modalities such as for example: infra-red, ultrasonic, radio-isotopique and at last X-ray imagery, with an emphasis on their application to medical imagery. A module of "discovery of the local culture" is also provided.
The fourth semester, S4, corresponds to an introductory training period in research.
It can take place in any validated host laboratory or research center throughout the world. The laboratories concerned belong to the world-wide research networks which the participating institutes have jointly developed through the international-class research activities of their laboratories.
