COURSE OBJECTIVES
Major Learning Objectives are:

 describe and explain basic principles of digital image processing;

 design and implement algorithms that perform basic image processing (e.g., noise
removal and image enhancement);
 design and implement algorithms for advanced image analysis (e.g., image compression,
image segmentation);
 Assess the performance of image processing algorithms and systems.

COURSE OUTCOMES

Students who complete this course will be able to:

 Analyze general terminology of digital image processing.

 Examine various types of images, intensity transformations and spatial filtering.
 Develop Fourier transform for image processing in frequency domain.
 Evaluate the methodologies for image segmentation, restoration etc.
 Implement image process and analysis algorithms.
 Apply image processing algorithms in practical applications.
