AI 728: IMAGE PROCESSING| COURSE INFORMATION
Instructor: Class Timings: Class Room: Textbook: |
This is an elective course for MCA (V Semester),
MTech (I Semester) students with an interest in processing
image data.
An image is the representation on a computer of the visual or pictorial information from the real world. Humans use pictorial information for a variety of tasks - recognition, danger avoidance, appreciation of beauty, etc. - and image processing attempts to develop algorithms that assist in mimicking such activities. In particular, image processing involves a number of algorithms that enhance and filter images to highlight what is important for a specific application. Traditionally, image processing dealt almost exclusively with grayscale (what we humans call black-and-white) images and the current course also does the same. There is a separate elective on Colour Image Processing which, however, benefits greatly from a knowledge of the topics covered in this course. Also note that the textbook forms only the baseline and there will be significant extensions and deviations in the class material | |||
