Matlab:
Matlab is recommended for programming and demonstration in this class although
use of other languages like Java or C++ is also welcome. The Unix workstations
in the AcIS Engineering Terrace (215 Mudd) are installed with Matlab. You may
run the Matlab program on AcIS CUNIX machines by using "ssh -l user-name
cunix.cc.columbia.edu" and then run 'matlab'. The program resides on /opt/local/bin/matlab'.
More information about Matlab license on CUNIX machines is available at CUNIX
Matlab site.
Students interested in taking the MATLAB course may consider the following
COMS W3101, Section 004: PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES (MATLAB)
You can also buy a "student edition" of Matlab from the Mathworks.
You will need Image Processing Toolbox and Statistics Toolbox in order to use
many pre-defined functions. Make sure to check the version numbers of the software
when searching for specific functions.

Other Useful Resources:
- Prof. William Freeman's class on "Learning and Inferencing of Vision"
[link] offered
at MIT.
Our class is modeled after the above one, with a different focus on video
analysis/indexing. A list of papers and student presentations in Prof. Freeman's
class is here.
It includes examples of excellent presentations and computer examples.
