Machine Learning for Visual Data Analytics MSc

Accredited by:

As recent developments in computers and sensors make the generation, storage and processing of visual data easier, methods that enable a machine to analyse and understand images and videos become increasingly relevant. The advances in this field are behind Google's autonomous vehicles, Meta's image analysis technologies and car plate recognition systems.

This programme is designed to train engineers to work in the analysis and interpretation of images and video.

  • Undertake high-level training in programming languages, tools and methods necessary for the design and implementation of practical computer vision systems.
  • Be taught by world-class researchers in the fields of multimedia analysis, vision-based surveillance, structure from motion and human motion analysis.
  • Work on cutting-edge research projects, gaining hands-on experience.

What you'll study

This course will enable students to study cutting-edge technologies in the field of machine learning for visual analytics, and will provide them with the background and skills they need to pursue careers in research or industry. Course content covers:

  • Fundamental methods and techniques in computer vision, machine learning and image processing.
  • Programming tools, languages and techniques for the application of machine learning methods to analyse visual data.
  • Methods and techniques for systems and applications.

The programme is taught by academics from the Computer Vision and Multimedia and Vision research groups. The groups consist of a team of more than 100 researchers (academics, post-docs, research fellows and PhD students) performing world-leading research into the fields of surveillance, face and gesture recognition, multimedia indexing and retrieval and robotics.

The School has collaborations, partnerships, industrial placement schemes and public engagement programmes with organisations including Vodafone, Google, IBM, BT, NASA, BBC and Microsoft.

This degree is accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional. This degree is also accredited by BCS on behalf of the Engineering Council, for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Assessment

  • 67% Modules
  • 33% Research project

Modules are assessed through a combination of coursework and written examinations. You will also be assessed through your final research project.

Research project

You will devise and carry out a major final project, which you may do in collaboration with an industrial partner.

Examples of past project topics include: 

  • Automatic road segmentation - sponsored by Yamaha Motors Ltd.
  • 3D face reconstruction from a few images.
  • Sentiment analysis in images.
Tom Hughes, MSc Machine Learning for Visual Data Analytics, 2023

I chose my MSc because computer vision was the most appealing field in machine learning for me, and Queen Mary has an excellent computer vision department. I most enjoyed my modules in Introduction to Computer Vision with Professor Andrea Cavallaro and Deep Learning and Computer Vision with Professor Sean Gong -they’re both fantastic lecturers, really knowledgeable and engaging. During my MSc, I gained important skills in machine learning and computer vision and experience conducting research projects, designing experiments and critically analysing academic papers.  The video presentation I made as part of my research project got me the interview which eventually led to my role as a Computer Vision Engineer.

Teaching

Students of this course can expect to take part in:

  • Lectures, in which the theory and algorithms are presented.
  • Practical sessions and labs, where they can get hands-on experience with tools and algorithms.

Each module provides contact time with your lecturers, supported by lab work and self-directed further study.

You will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary.

Part-time study options often mean that the number of modules taken is reduced per semester, with the full modules required to complete the programme spread over two academic years.

Where you'll learn

Facilities

The School has excellent bespoke facilities, including:
