Pre-requisite learning
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named DkIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

Module Indicative Content
Computer Vision
We will study how to use open source computer vision to detect objects in images, edges, regions of interest and find lanes on video.
Perceptrons
Use perceptrons to classify a linearly separable set of inputs.
Deep Neural Networks
Will will study deep neural networks to help us extract features from images.
Multiclass Classification
We will study how to train a model to fit more than just two classes. We will use this later to classify images.
Image recognition
We will use openly available image datasets to see how to train, validate and test image recognition.
Convolutional Nueral Networks
Convolutional neural networks are the go-to model for image classification. We will study these efficient way to extract features from images.
Classifying Images
We will study how to process data to train a neural network to classify road signs.
Polynomial regression
We will learn how to build a model to fit a continuous dataset.
Behavioural Cloning
We will use the convolutional neural network to learn from training data.
Building Robots
We will cover how to build a robot with simple sensors, cheap computers and open source tools.
