Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning

-

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student - can list nonlinear filter classes and name filters belonging to each class, - is able to explain the idea or motivation behind each nonlinear filter, - can define each filter mathematically, - is able to derive impulse and step responses for each filter, and - has ability to analyze filter behavior in different noisy cases.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. median type filters  Estimation theory    
2. L-, M- and R-filters  Implementation of the filters   
3. trimmed mean, C-, ranked-order and weighted order statistic filters     
4. edge-enhancing selective, rank selection and weighted majority of m values with minimum range filters     
5. nonlinear mean and stack filters (and generalizations)     
6. (soft) morphological, polynomial, data-dependent, decision-based filters     
7. iterative, cascaded and recursive filters     
8. several minor filter classes     

Evaluation criteria for the course

Course is graded on the basis of answers to exam questions. Course acceptance threshold is approx. half the maximum exam points. Classroom exercise activity gives bonus points which are added to exam points in the three exams of this implementation of the course.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
