ENEE 631: Digital Image Processing


Course Goals:

To introduce the student to theoretical foundations and modern applicatons in Digital Image Processing. Main topics to be covered are image digitization, image representation, image compression, restoration and reconstruction. The student will be exposed to concepts such as Markov Random Fields, simulated annealing, multi-resolution processing as well as image compression standards.
