Image processing

Course objectives

GENERAL The course aims at providing the student with an overall vision of the image processing issues, such as the use of transformed domain, filtering, encoding, and of its main applications tc.) (such as restoration, denoising, enhancement, tomography, etc. At the end of the Course the student is aware of the main representation domains of signals and images both in continuous and discrete domain and can manage software for image processing purposes. Through developing in depth theoretical and practical projects the students gains ability of i) autonomously comprehending cutting edge image processing papers, ii) presenting their contents, iii) realizing and critically analysing image processing experiments. The above goals are detailed in the followig SPECIFIC • Knowledge and understanding of the discrete and continuous, spatial and frequency image representation domains. Achieve a big picture of image processing theoretical background. Gain knowledge and understanding of the main image processing tasks (Recovery, Denoising, Enhancement, Morphological filtering, Segmentation, etc). • Applying knowledge and understanding: be able to design novel algorithms for advanced image processing tasks, • Making judgements: be able to compute performances and develop a critical evaluation of the collected results, as well as of the algorithm parameters and their impact on the processing output. • Communication skills: present and describe innovative solutions • Learning skills: Be able to read scientific papers and technical standard on the most advanced solutions for image processing

Course program
After presenting the main representation domains for continuous and discrete bidimensional signals (20 h), the course articulates into theoretical lessons devoted to the main image processing application (20 h) and mixed theoretical practical lessons (20 h) devoted to in-depth analysis of cutting edge image processing problems.
Prerequisites
Introductory (101) knowledge of signal theory is useful.
Books
Lecture notes by the teacher, scientific papers, available through Sapienza Library system. Digital Image Processing / Gonzalez, Woods, Pearson International, isbn: 9781292223049 Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB, 2e, isbn: 978007070262-2
Teaching mode
The lessons are developed in different ways according to different teaching model. They include i)theoretical lessons, developed by frontal teaching on conventional whiteboard as well as using multimedia teaching tools for interactive visualization; ii)theoretical-practical lessons, resulting from a mix of theoretical lessons, driven study groups, laboratory experiments, presentation of ongoing lab activity.
Frequency
Attending classes is not mandatory but it is strongly encouraged.
Exam mode
Final evaluation relies on written material production, oral presentation, implementation of algorithm related to image processing, to be carried out throughout the course.
