Introduction:
In many engineering applications, information of the physical reality is gathered
through images. The aim of image processing is to make this information useful
such that a non-technical user can benefit from it. Electromagnetic waves, sound
waves or physical particles such as electrons or positrons can be information car-
riers that form images. Diagnostic tools, for example, use image processing tech-
niques frequently in medicine. Or automatic reading of license plate from camera
images reduces the waiting time in ques in traffic while passing through highway
bridges. This course is designed to teach students the fundamentals of image pro-
cessing and aimed to have them a strong theoretical/practical background.
Prerequisite:
Undergraduate level Signal Processing (ELE301) is a must. Basic mathematical pro-
gramming skills in Python is nice to have.
Content:
The course will cover image processing techniques in different domains. It begins
with 2D signal processing basics, periodicity relations and sampling theory. Then
space and frequency domain techniques for image enhancement will be covered.
Image restoration, color image processing, image coding/compression, morpho-
logical image processing will follow. Deep learning techniques for image classifica-
tion and object detection will be the last topics. If time permits, multi-resolution
signal processing and wavelets will be introduced. Python programming is manda-
tory in homeworks and possibly in quizzes, midterm and final.
