ELEC ENG 7060 - Image Sensors & Processing

This course is an introduction to image processing and image analysis techniques and concepts. Areas examined include imaging sensors and their principles; Image representation and storage, coding and compression techniques, lossy versus lossless; Techniques for noise reduction images; Image enhancement including contrast manipulation, histogram equalization, edge highlighting; Filtering and transform techniques for image processing including two dimensional Fourier transforms, wavelets and convolution; Spatial transformations and image registration. Segmentation and thresholding techniques; Applications of morphology to image processing including erosion, dilation and hit-or-miss operations for binary and grey scale images; Image feature estimation such as edges, lines, corners, texture and simple shape measures. Object classification, template matching techniques and basic image based tracking will also be examined
