Pecha Kucha

Pecha Kucha is a presentation format for quickly getting ideas to your audience. It is constrained to 20 slides with 20 seconds for each slide.

Presentation

The online slides are here

This presentation follows this script:

• My introduction and how I came to be here.
• What is computer science?
• What is computer vision?
• Working with faces.
• Presenting tips.

Introduction

My presentation starts as a personal reflection, on how I arrived, by fairly unconventional means, to this field.

I want to introduce at a very high level, what is computer science, and particularly computer vision. I will then talk a little about working with faces.

Finally, I will make some remarks about presenting - including some items that have only recently become known to me.

Building

The content is written in Markdown and converted using pandoc. The slides are built using the Makefile in the lecture directory. There is a corresponding Makefile in the labs directory.

I use some templates and defaults available at:

https://github.com/uea-teaching/teaching-slides

I prefer to use Docker to run Pandoc, again the repo above has a Dockerfile. There is also a Makefile in the root of this repo if you already have Docker installed.

Slides

The slides can be built without auto-advance by removing:

-V autoSlide=20000 \

from the Makefile.
