Course Objectives This course introduces the fundamental principles and algorithms of digital image processing systems. The course will cover many subjects including image sampling and quantization; spatial and frequency domain image enhancement techniques; digital signal processing theories used for digital image processing, such as onedimensional and twodimensional convolution, and twodimensional Fourier transformation; color models and basic color image processing.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to process images using techniques of smoothing, sharpening, histogram processing, and filtering,
  • will be able to explain sampling and quantization processes in obtaining digital images from continuously sensed data,
  • will be able to enhance digital images using filtering techniques in the spatial domain,
  • will be able to enhance digital images using filtering techniques in the frequency domain,
  • will be able to restore images in the presence of only noise through filtering techniques,
  • will be able to describe most commonly applied color models and their use in basic color image processing,
  • will be able to write Matlab codes using image processing toolbox.
Course Description The following topics will be included: Digital images as twodimensional signals; twodimensional convolution, Fourier transform, and discrete cosine transform; Image processing basics; Image enhancement; Image restoration; Wavelets and Multiresolution processing; Image coding and compression.
