Detect, Recognize and Track Objects and Events Using Latest Computer Vision
The Master of Computer Vision program provides you with the technical skills and domain knowledge needed to succeed in this fast-growing industry. This involves acquiring, processing, analyzing and understanding images, videos, 3D data and other types of high-dimensional data of the real world employing the latest machine learning techniques.
Currently, UCF is the only public university offering a Master of Computer Vision degree in the U.S. The program builds upon our very successful research program in computer vision, which ranks among top 10 in the nation. Here, you’ll be able to take what you learn in the classroom and apply it to current research upon which future computer vision industries can be built. Plus, with local and national high-tech partners including Lockheed Martin, Elbit Systems, L3Harris, DRS, Accenture and SRI, you can experience the industry first hand through internships and networking opportunities.
As a computer vision engineer, you can help change how we examine the world and solve problems. Our computer vision graduates go on to use modern technology to benefit society, whether that’s right here at home in Central Florida or across the globe.
