Tentative Syllabus and Reading:
Introduction, overview of history and applications of Image Processing. Review of the requisite mathematical concepts, including concepts in matrix, probability, and statistical analysis.
Fundamentals of Image Processing. Visual Perception, light and the EM spectrum. Image sensing and acquisition. Sampling and quantization.
Spatial domain image enhancement. Gray-level transforms, histogram procesing, averaging and subtraction of images. Retinex. Spatial Filtering: Convolution and superposition. Smoothing/sharpening filters.
Spectral domain enhancement. Linear transformations of images. Fourier, DCT, etc. Smoothing/sharpening filters. Homomorphic filtering.
Image Restoration. Modeling the degradation process. Noise and interfering patterns. Linear, space-invariant degradations. Blind restoration/estimation of the degradation process. Inverse filtering. Wiener filter, Least-squares filter. Geometric transfromations.
Wavelets and Multiresolution processing. Image pyramids, Continuous and discrete wavelet transforms. Wavelets in 2 dimensions. Applications to compression, enhancement, restoration.
Basic Image Analysis. Detection of discontinuities and change in images, segmentation and thresholding. Basic morphological processing. Description and respresentation of shape.
Advanced Topics. Multiple-image processing. Image registration. Motion estimation. Resolution enhancement. Inverse Problems in imaging.
Review of material, presentation of final projects.
Academic Dishonesty and
Cheating: Any confirmed academic dishonesty
including but not limited to copying homeworks or cheating
on exams, will result in a no-pass or failing grade. You are
encouraged to read the campus policies regarding academic
integrity. Examples of cheating include (but are not limited
to): If there is any question as to whether a
given action might be construed as cheating, see me before
you engage in any such action.
