CS 448 - Digital Image Processing

As images are ubiquitous in modern science, such as medicine and military defense, this course introduces students to fundamentals in image processing. The topics covered include image representation, image formation, image enhancement in both spatial and frequency domains, and morphological image processing with the focus on two-dimensional grayscale images. Basics in linear algebra will be covered for understanding of image representation and manipulation, and Matlab will be introduced as the programming tool for implementation of the mathematics. In addition to regular homework assignments, students will be exposed to the literature in image processing, and implement a technique published in the recent literature for the final project assignment. This course will lay the basis for study in image understanding and computer vision.
