88003 - IMAGE PROCESSING

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

At the end of the course the student will be able to: - describe the basic issues and the principal applications of image processing; - demonstrate a good understanding of the current state-of-the-art image processing methods; - identify, demonstrate and apply his/her knowledge by analyzing image processing problems and recognizing and employing (or proposing) effective solutions; - design and create practical solutions to a range of common image processing problems. The student will also get the basic knowledge on the main algorithms for: - filtering in the spatial and frequency domain; - image segmentation; - object detection and recognition.

Metodi didattici

Lectures, lab practice.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

In the last weeks of the classe students will tackle a real-word problem (compulsory):

• Group project (small groups: 4/5 people)
• Reading scientific paper
• Finding material (bibliography, images, …)
• Understanding and implementation of some algorithms
• Presentation (both written report and oral presentation) of the project and its outcomes

Final examination: discussion of the group project and oral interview.

Strumenti a supporto della didattica

Software for image processing: ImageJ.
