You can follow the above-mentioned links for registration on either live or asynchronous e-courses. For questions, please contact: Ioanna Koroni <koroniioanna@csd.auth.gr>

Each live e-course contains 16 live (and recorded) lectures and related material (slide pdfs, lecture videos, understanding questionnaires) providing an in-depth presentation of computer vision and deep learning problems algorithms with applications on Autonomous Systems (cars, drones, marine vessels).

All e-courses are organized by Prof. I. Pitas, IEEE and EURASIP fellow, He is AUTH prime investigation for H2020 project AerialCore, Coordinator of the European Horizon2020 R&D project Multidrone, Director of the Artificial Intelligence and Information analysis Lab (AIIA Lab), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece and Chair of the IEEE SPS Autonomous Systems Initiative. He is ranked 249 top Computer Science and Electronics Scientist internationally by Guide2research.

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is the biggest University in Greece and in SE Europe. It is highly ranked internationally.
