The fundamental processing methods for black/white and color images are studied in depth. Image representation is viewed as image description by features. Modern image acquisition and display techniques are addressed including animation. Processing of image data by domain transformation and image transformations are emphasized. Applications include image enhancement and restoration of degraded images. Properties of human vision are studied and exploited for optimal image data compression and optimal image display. Some image information investigations might be addressed including image coding. Students will participate in a course project. Prerequisite: computer graphics, linear algebra, fourier transforms, stochastic processes. |
