Introduction
to Image Processing Course Web Page
2011/12 Autumn Semester
Digital image processing is a key enabling technology of today's digital society, and is a fundamental building block of digital photography, digital television, computer games, computer vision, and computer graphics. This module gives an introduction to the field of digital image processing. Syllabus Link Learning Resourses The course will make use of lecture slides and notes, texbooks, and online learning resourse There are many texbooks on this subject, here is a classic one R. C. Gonzalez and R. E. Woods, Digital Image Processing, Prentice Hall, 2008 (UoN Library Copies) Useful online resourses (amongst many others) include
There are many
free image processing tools. ImageJ
is a public domain Java image processing program and was designed with
an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins.
Users can develop acquisition, analysis and processing plugins using
ImageJ's built in editor and Java compiler. If you have done Java
programming in your first year, you may find this tool useful.
However, this course is much more than just using image processing tools, it is about gaining in-depth understanding of the theory and algorithms behind the tools. Therefore, you are expected to be able to put theory into practice through implementing various image processing tasks using computer programs (you can use your favourite programming languages). We will achieve this through a variety of activities – lectures, lab sessions, guided- and self-study, using a variety of learning resources, lecture slides/notes, lab practical guides, textbooks, and online materials. Timetable Lectures: Thursday 9:00- 11:00 JC-EXCHGE-B.LT3 || Labs: Friday 10:00 - 11:00 JC-COMPSCI-A32 Coursework (25%): Out 24th October 2011 || Deadline 4:00PM 30th November 2011 Slides and Handouts I have divided my slides into distinctive topics, sometimes these will be presented within one lecture, on other occasions they will be spread across multiple lectures. Note that some slides published before a lecture may contain only an outline of the lecture's topics, many gaps will be filled in class.
