ECEN 5672 - Digital Image Processing

3 credit hours

Online Course Materials

Catalog Description: The objective of the course is to present the fundamental techniques available for image representation and compression (e.g., wavelets), filtering (e.g., Wiener and nonlinear filter), and segmentation (e.g., anisotropic diffusion).

Prerequisite: ECEN 5632, Theory and Applications of Digital Filtering, or instructor consent.

Textbook:

Goals: This course is designed to teach students the theory of image enhancement and image restoration with hands-on experience through homeworks and class project.

Topics:

  1. Image formation and visual perception.
  2. Digitization, multidimensional transforms.
  3. Transform coding and image compression.
  4. Enhancement, filtering, restoration, and reconstruction.
  5. Tomography.
Computer Usage:
  1. Ideally, part of every homework includes problems which utilize one of the ITS computer labs and an image processing software package such as IDL.
Laboratory Projects:
  1. Term project can be theoretical or applied. Applied projects usually include examples and simulations performed with an image processing computer system.
