This course focuses on the processing technologies for multi-dimensional information. Topics include sampling and quantization of multi-dimensional information, compression coding (entropy coding, quantization error analysis, orthogonal transform, Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT), and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)), recent advances in image processing (image segmentation, colorization, image editing, and image retargeting), and image restoration via convex optimization (convex function/set, convex programming algorithms and regularization methods for image processing). The course enables students to understand the mathematical tools widely applicable to solve the real-world information processing problems.
By the end of this course, students will:
1. Understand the fundamental of image coding methods.
2. Explain how to extract the essential and mathematical problems from real-world image processing problems.
3. Acquire the fundamentals of convex optimization
4. Apply mathematical tools for wide variety of multi-dimensional information processing problems.
