    Course Overview

    3D Reconstruction - Single Viewpoint is a basic level programme on 3D reconstruction. The online course is meant for learners who belong to the beginner level skills level. The course is a joint venture by Coursera and Columbia University. 3D Reconstruction - Single Viewpoint Certification Course will walk the learners through the method of recovering the 3D structure of a scene from its 2D images, 3D reconstruction, radiometric principles, depth from focus and defocus, and the like. 

    3D Reconstruction - Single Viewpoint Training, offered by Coursera, is the third course in the First Principles of Computer Vision Specialization that consists of five programmes. For the students of 3D Reconstruction - Single Viewpoint Certification by Coursera, Coursera specified the prerequisites of having an understanding of fundamental linear algebra and calculus to be eligible for the course.  The course, which could be covered within 2.5 months at the least, will be very easy for the students who already have a familiarity with any of the programming languages.
