Course Title: Digital Image Processing
Instructor-in-Charge: Dr. Ashish Chittora

Course Description: This is a first course on digital image processing. It begins with an
introduction to the fundamentals of digital images and discusses the various discrete transforms,
which are extensively used in image processing. It then goes on to discuss the different image
processing techniques such as image enhancement, restoration, segmentation and object recognition.

Scope & Objective: The course introduces the students to the fundamentals of digital images and
various processing techniques that are applied to them so as to improve their quality. These
techniques are image enhancement, image segmentation and recognition.
