Abstract

Introduction to the basic techniques of image processing. Introduction to the development of image-processing software and to prototyping in JAVA. Application to real-world examples in industrial vision and biomedical imaging.

Objective

By the end of the course, the student must be able to: - Exploit the multidimensional Fourier transform - Select appropriately Hilbert spaces and inner-products - Optimize 2-D sampling to avoid aliasing - Formalize convolution and optical systems - Design digital filters in 2-D - Analyze multidimensional linear shift-invariant systems - Apply image-analysis techniques - Construct image-processing software - Elaborate morphological filters

Content
