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.

增强高等教育中的计算机视觉能力：提高视频编码理解能力的新工具

对计算机视觉专业人才的需求日益增长，这就需要有效的教育方法。本研究探索了一种基于虚拟编程语言原理的新型工具，旨在加强计算机视觉教育，特别是视频编码方面的教育。该工具利用友好的用户界面和自定义部件库进行视频探索，使学生能够参与视频数据操作、运动估计模拟和编码效果可视化。一项针对大学硕士课程计算机视觉专业学生的对照实验表明，该工具显著提高了学生的学习积极性、知识掌握程度和整体学习效果。这项研究凸显了此类工具彻底改变计算机视觉教育的潜力，从而提高学生的参与度、加深理解并增强实践技能。因此，它为进一步探索计算机视觉以及其他科学、技术、工程和数学学科中的类似工具铺平了道路。
