Course Description:
This course emphasizes general principles of image processing, rather than specific applications. It
covers topics such as image sampling and quantization, color, point operations, segmentation,
morphological image processing, linear image filtering and correlation, image transforms,
eigenimages, multiresolution image processing, wavelets, noise reduction and restoration, feature
extraction and recognition tasks, and image registration.

Course Objective/Course Learning Outcome: Contribution to Program Student Outcomes:
1. Understand image processing, computer (SO 6) Apply computer science theory and
imaging systems, resolution concerns, and software development fundamentals to produce
image formats. computing-based solutions.
2. Illustrate image digitization, image
properties, and noise in images.
3. Realize image pre-processing
enhancements: pixel brightness
transformation, geometric transformations,
and local filtering using masks.
4. Apply image segmentation: threshold
based, edge-based, region based, and
matching.
5. Understand shape representation and
description.
6. Apply mathematical morphology
7. Introduce classification and recognition in
image analysis
8. Implement a computer program on Matlab (SO 2) Design, implement, and evaluate a
or Python to for an image analysis computing-based solution to meet a given set of
application computing requirements in the context of the
program’s discipline.
(SO 5) Function effectively as a member or
leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate
to the program’s discipline.
9. Present a framework for an image analysis (SO 3) Communicate effectively in a variety of
application pipeline professional contexts.
