"A picture is worth a thousand words."
Visual information has been playing an important role in our everyday life. The emerging of digital technologies provided many advantages toward the handling of image and video data. Today, digital image and video processing has reached people beyond the technical fields. The ubiquitous applications that the general public can take advantage of range from digital TV to medical imaging, from digital photography to high-quality copying and printing, and from image-based web search to satellite images in weather broadcast.
ENEE631 is the first graduate course on image processing with prerequisite of ENEE620, or 624, or by permission of instructor. The objective of the course is to establish fundamental concepts on image and video processing. We will cover three groups of core topics plus a set of selected topics:
Basics: image/video acquisition and display,
properties of the human visual systems, color representations, sampling and
quantization, and image transforms.
Coding and Related Issues: common image
formats, basic principles of compression for images and videos, motion
estimation and compensation for videos, popular standards such as JPEG,
JPEG2000, and MPEG.
Manipulation, Enhancement, and Restoration:
image warping, contrast enhancement, denoising, interpolation, dithering,
etc.
Selected topics: such as feature extraction, image registration, simple recognition and content analysis, visible and invisible watermarking.
