This Master's Degree in Computer Vision offers an interdisciplinary specialization in all-round fundamentals of computer vision. It has been designed on the basis of the research and transfer experience of four universities in Galicia and Northern Portugal.

The master addresses the need to train qualified experts in a field that is becoming fundamental in maintaining the innovative momentum in the automation of tasks that require visual cognition. With the exponential growth of the volume of digital images and videos captured by cameras, the automatic understanding of our visual world has never been more important, in applications such as:

  • Healthcare. Applications in new products and services of software for Hospitals and e-Health with special emphasis on diagnostic support and contactless health monitoring.
  • Automatic inspection. Application in infrastructures maintaining, industrial production lines, quality control and sensors embedded in Industry 4.0.
  • Mobile robotics with applications in collaborative robotics, Industry 4.0, precision agriculture, and personal assistants.
  • Security of infrastructures and services. Applications in video surveillance, identification biometrics, monitoring of public spaces.
  • Agriculture and land planning. Applications in land, forest and crop monitoring from satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles.
  • Road safety and self-driving. Traffic control and surveillance, driving assistance systems, autonomous vehicles.
  • Aquaculture and fish industry.
  • Leisure, advertising and virtual shopping.
