Methods for Image Processing

The aim of this course is to provide the general principles on the acquisition, the representation, and the improvement of digital images and the processing techniques for extracting information from images of real scenes.

The student will know the usage of basic techniques of image processing and analysis for:
· image quality improvement;
· information extraction from images;
· compression and representation of images.
Moreover, the student will be able to interpret their role in more advanced techniques.

Making judgements
The student will be able to evaluate the impact of the studied techniques for each task and which of them will be more effective, given the constraints of the problem.

Learning skills
The knowledge of the fundamental techniques for image processing allows the student to further deepen the study of advanced techniques, framing and relating them with the constraints of given application domains.
