Abstract
The growing demand for skilled computer vision professionals requires effective educational approaches. This study explores a novel tool based on Virtual Programming Language principles designed to enhance computer vision education, specifically in video coding. The tool leverages a user-friendly interface and a custom widget library for video exploration, enabling students to engage with video data manipulation, motion estimation simulations, and visualization of coding effects. A controlled experiment with computer vision students from a university master's program demonstrates that the tool significantly improves student motivation, knowledge acquisition, and overall learning outcomes. This study highlights the potential of such tools to revolutionize computer vision education, leading to better engagement, deeper understanding, and enhanced practical skills. Therefore, it paves the way for further exploration of similar tools in computer vision and other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines.
期刊介绍:
Computer Applications in Engineering Education provides a forum for publishing peer-reviewed timely information on the innovative uses of computers, Internet, and software tools in engineering education. Besides new courses and software tools, the CAE journal covers areas that support the integration of technology-based modules in the engineering curriculum and promotes discussion of the assessment and dissemination issues associated with these new implementation methods.
