Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Students learn the building blocks of a digital image processing system, and learn about the different types of images to be processed in the course as well as the type of problems to be solved. Students then learn the principles of image formation, sampling, quantization and the human visual system, which will allow them to investigate specific image processing techniques later on. | Human Visual System, Image Acqusition, Sampling theorem. Fourier Family and other Transforms. | Nonlinear filtering. |
| 2. | The first major task to be learned is image intensity transformations and spatial filtering for the purpose of image enhancement in the spatial and frequency domains.The second major task is image restoration in the spatial and frequency domains. Students learn how to deal with different types of noise models and degradation processes. Then they learn about inverse filtering and Wiener filtering. | LTI systems, Impulse response, and frequency response of Linear Filters. | Image analysis and segmentation. |
| 3. | the students will learn about color spaces and color image processing and how to restore and enhance color images and different color spaces. | Colorimetry and color science. Color Processing and Enhancement. | |
| 4. | Students will learn the basics of video processing and applications: The fundamentals of digital video processing, basic video file formats, resolutions, and bit rates. The principles of video acqusition. | 3D signals and video enhancement. | Video file formats |
| 5. | Finally, various video applications will be covered such as: digital video applications, motion analysis and estimation, motion-compensated filtering methods for noise removal, de-interlacing, and resolution enhancement, a brief overview of video analysis including shot-boundary detection and scene extraction. | 2D/3D Motion Estimation and Analysis | MPEG standards |
