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, morphological image processing, linear image filtering and correlation, image transforms, eigenimages, 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. Apply Fourier, discrete cosine, and hotelling (Karhunen-Loeve) transforms to images.
  4. Realize image pre-processing: pixel brightness transformation, geometric transformations, and local filtering using masks.
  5. Apply image segmentation: threshold based, edge-based, region based, and matching.
  6. Understand shape representation and description.
  7. Apply mathematical morphology.
