This section contains learning material covering some basic robotics and computer vision, and a brief introduction to simplicial homology theory.

 

Robotics and 3D Vision


These are lab assignments from the undergraduate Introduction to Robotics course (EE C125) at UC Berkeley in Fall 2008. It contains some good references covering geometry of stereo cameras.

Simplicial Homology


Homology is a mathematical tool from algebraic topology that captures topological information of a space. In engineering, these tools have been used in image processing, sensor networks, and high-dimensional data analysis.

A brief introduction to the topic can be found here: PDF

Plex is a good software package for the computation of homology: http://comptop.stanford.edu/
