Course description and aims

This course will provide a comprehensive overview of fundamental image processing and image sensing. Topics covered in this course will include the following: imaging model, pixel-by-pixel image processing, area-based image processing, frequency-domain image processing, image restoration, geometric transform, pattern matching, feature extraction, feature description and matching, and pattern recognition.

Images can be regarded as high-dimensional signal and contain rich information. They are also very useful as external sensors and have a variety of applications. In this course, basic theories and algorithms which are essential for image processing and sensing will be explained.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Understand how geometric information in space is recorded in an image and its mathematical modeling.
2. Understand pixel-by-pixel intensity transform and area-based intensity transform (spatial filtering).
3. Understand the relationship between spatial filtering and frequency filtering.
4. Understand mathematical descriptions of various geometric transforms, how to transform actual images, and image mosaicing as a typical application.
5. Understand methods for detecting specific patterns and figures, and image segmentation.
6. Understand methods for feature extraction and description, and pattern recognition.
