Overview
This research area has been growing exponentially since the 1980s due to the great complexity of the problem. Today, it is an important field of research in computer science, mathematics, physics and engineering in general. In the last decade, progress in this area has been huge, for several reasons:
- Results in the development of low cost high performance cameras.
- The introduction of these cameras in many areas of daily life as well as their integration into multiple mobile devices.
- The development of computational learning techniques that have improved the efficiency of algorithms that automatically extract information from images.
- The possibility of access to huge databases of images on the Internet.
This Computer Vision programme is offered by the Polytechnic University of Catalonia.
Professional opportunities
This master’s degree will provide a profile with skills and expertise applicable to multiple fields. Computer vision is a discipline that allows rapid applicability of all theoretical knowledge, providing a cross-disciplinary engineering profile that can be integrated in multiple systems of different applications such as retrieving images by content, interpreting and automatically annotating videos, extracting three-dimensional information from multiple views and improving the appearance of image content. It is also a technological industry that requires professionals with a high level of training and has scientific interest that progresses very fast.

Academic requirements
We are not aware of any specific GRE, GMAT or GPA grading score requirements for this programme.
English requirements
Other requirements
General requirements
- An official Spanish university qualification or an official university qualification issued by a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that qualifies the holder for admission to a master's degree.
- A qualification issued by a university in a country that is not in the EHEA. If the qualification has not been homologated, the UPC will verify that the course of study corresponds to a level of education equivalent to an official Spanish university degree and that the qualification obtained would provide admission to a master’s degree in the country in which it was awarded. This access route in no way implies the homologation of the qualification or its recognition for any purpose other than admission to the master's degree. The master's degree will, however, be fully and legally valid.
