Digital Image Processing

Description

This course emphasizes general principles of image processing, rather than specific applications. It covers topics such as image sampling and quantization, color, point operations, segmentation, mor-phological image processing, linear image filtering and correlation, image transforms, eigen images, multiresolution image processing, wavelets, noise reduction and restoration, feature extraction and recognition tasks, and image registration.

Objectives

• 1. Understand image processing, computer imaging systems, resolution concerns, and image formats.
  2. Illustrate image digitization, image properties, and noise in images.
  3. Realize image pre-processing enhancements: pixel brightness transformation, geometric transformations, and local filtering using masks.
  4. Apply image segmentation: threshold based, edge-based, region based, and matching.
  5. Understand shape representation and description.
  6. Apply mathematical morphology.
  7. Introduce classification and recognition in image analysis.
  8. Implement a computer program on Matlab or Python to for an image analysis application.
  9. Present a framework for an image analysis application pipeline
