The Visual Computing Master's programme is coordinated by the Department of Computer Science at Saarland University, one of the four best computer science departments in Germany (CHE ranking). Visual imagery is the most important sensory information for humans. More and more information is represented by digital images and visual simulations. The entire field of acquiring, analysing, and synthesising visual data by means of computers is called visual computing. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the full spectrum of visual computing cannot be addressed adequately within a traditional, mono-disciplinary programme of study. This has prompted Saarland University to offer a novel interdisciplinary Master's programme that is entirely devoted to all aspects of visual computing. It includes classes and seminars on: image acquisition and geometric foundations image analysis (image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition) image synthesis (computer graphics, scientific visualisation, geometric modelling) related fields such as telecommunications, machine learning, artificial intelligence, signal processing, computational linguistics, medical engineering, and cognitive sciences useful foundations in mathematics, computer science, physics, and mechatronics
Students are free to choose courses according to their preferences, but they have to obtain credit points from certain categories. There is no fixed timetable for courses. PDF Download
