Rationale:

This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts and techniques in basic digital image
processing and their applications to solve real life problems. The topics covered include Digital
Image Fundamentals, Image Transforms, Image Enhancement, Restoration and Compression,
Morphological Image Processing, Nonlinear Image Processing, and Image Analysis. Application
examples are also included. Upon completion of this course, students will be familiar with basic
image processing techniques for solving real problems. Student will also have sufficient expertise in
both the theory of two-dimensional signal processing and its wide range of applications, for example,
image restoration, image compression, and image analysis.

Course Objectives: The main objectives of this course 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.

Intended Learning Outcome: After completion of this course the student 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.
