Brief self-introduction [max 500 words]

My name is Josuet Leoro and I came from Ecuador to study Robotics here in Taiwan. I studied my master in Mechatronics Engineering at National Taipei University of Techonology (國立台北科技大學). Currently, I am a second year PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at National Chiao Tung University. Robotics is my pasion and I want to learn multiple areas of it. In the future, I want to be a professor back in my country after gaining some experience here in Taiwan.

Why Computer Vision? [max 500 words]

Computer vision is one of the areas that I want to learn, so that later I can apply it to robotics. I studied Digital Image Processing while I was studying my master, and I always wanted to extend my knowledge to Computer Visions applications. However, there was not any class offered in English nor in Taipei Tech neither in Chiao Tung. And I was to busy with my research during the master. Therefore, I could not study it by myself. I am happy to be allowed to register to this class and obtain some knowledge of this interesting area. I got the information about this class thanks to the recommendation of Nick Wang, when I took his Robotic Vision class at Chiao Tung. He encoraged me to take this class with professor Sun Min and highly recommended it.

What do you want to achieve in the course? [ max 500 words]

At the end of this course, I want to be able to understand different Computer Vision algorithms so that I can be able to apply them in future applications. Also, I would like to understand deep learning in specific, since I had often read about its applications. Not only to Computer Vision but also in other areas like control.
