MODULE DESCRIPTOR
Module Title
Computer Vision for the Energy Sector
Reference CMM560 Version 1
Created November 2022 SCQF Level SCQF 11
Approved January 2023 SCQF Points 15
Amended ECTS Points 7.5

Aims of Module
To provide students with knowledge of the latest advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science, used in the complex and time-consuming task of image/video analysis. Students will be introduced to the fundamentals and the latest trends in computer vision, which will be applied to real-life problems faced by the oil and gas and the renewables sectors.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Critically appraise the challenges posed by the management and processing of complex image and/or video-based datasets.
2 Demonstrate an understanding of the main concepts of computer vision and how machines "see".
3 Critically evaluate and select state-of-the-art methods to extract features from the input data and detect, localise, recognise or classify the information or phenomena depicted.
4 Discuss solutions to diverse case studies from real-life applications in the oil and gas and renewable sectors.

Indicative Module Content
Main concepts of computer vision; Data in the energy sector; Data acquisition and storage; Data pre-processing and cleaning; Machine learning principles; Image manipulation; Basic and advanced models for image classification, detection, recognition and segmentation; Real-life use cases; Tools and libraries (e.g. Python, OpenCV, Scikit Learn, cloud services, etc.); Sharing code and working remotely & effectively (online notebooks and repositories e.g. GitHub, Kaggle, Colab, etc.).

Module Delivery
The module is delivered using a combination of online self-study materials, directed reading and activities and supported using virtual workshops and tutor support.
