This course page describes the lecture of
Sommersemester 2023.
See list of other semesters.
Basic Information
This course aims at providing a deep insight into the research field of Applied Medical Visualization. We will be dealing with defining, analyzing, designing, assessing, and presenting high-level visualization and visual analytics research, with regard to real-life (bio-)medical applications and their requirements.
- Obligatory Registration in TISS before 19.03.2023
- VisMed 1 and Visualisierung 1 are strongly recommended previous knowledge, but not mandatory. There will be a short recap at the beginning of the course of the VisMed1 material (self-study)
- Lectures will be given in English.
- All communication and details will be administered in TUWEL
Course Structure
This year the course will consist of three parts:
- Lectures: Frontal presentations will be held on Mondays at 9.15-11.30. A recap recording of VisMed1 will be provided (you can watch this on your own time if you have not taken VisMed1, otherwise you can skip it).
- Small quizzes: At the beginning of each lecture (except for the first), there will be a small (15 min) online quiz to test the understanding of the content of the previous lecture (at 9.15-9.30). This will account for 35% of your grade.
- Final projects: This will be conducted in the period between 08.05--20.06 in a group of two students. The outcomes of the project will be presented in a dedicated session at the end of the course (on 26.06). The project accounts for 50% of your grade. The presentation accounts for 15%.
Material
The course will be structured based on the book of B. Preim and C.P. Botha "Visual Computing for Medicine" (2nd ed.) (http://medvisbook.com/). Additional reading material will also be given, which will be uploaded on the course's TUWEL page.
Assessment
This year the course will be assessed as follows:
- Small online quizzes (35% of final grade)
- Final project (work in pairs, 50% of final grade)
- Presentation of the final project (15% of the final grade)
You need a passing grade for each one of the three components above (i.e., doing only the project and presentation is not enough)!
Class participation is rewarded with bonus points.
Grading system:
- > 88 Points ... Sehr Gut (1)
- >= 75 Points ... Gut (2)
- >= 63 Points ... Befriedigend (3)
- >= 50 Points ... Genügend (4)
- < 50 Points ... Nicht Genügend (5)
