Introduction To Digital Image Processing

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The objectives of this course are:

• understanding the basic concepts of digital image processing
• familiarity with the methods and mathematical models used for image analysis and processing
• the use of the above methods for the processing, enhancement, segmentation of digital
• image as well as for analyzing and extracting semantic information for image classification and pattern recognition applications
• the development of skills related to the implementation of the above methods in a programming environment

 

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

• understand the main features of digital image processing
• know the main tools, techniques, limitations and open problems in digital image processing
• programmatically implement methods and techniques of digital image processing

 

General Competences

• Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the appropriate technologies
• Individual work
• Project design and manipulation
• Work in an interdisciplinary environment
• Promotion of creative and inductive thinking
