COURSE NUMBER:

CMPT 450

COURSE TITLE:

Image Processing and Embedded Images

NAME OF INSTRUCTOR:

Dr. Michael Janzen

CREDIT WEIGHT AND WEEKLY TIME DISTRIBUTION:

credits 3(hrs lect 3 - hrs sem 0 - hrs lab 3)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course introduces the topic of image processing, including a mathematical approach to understanding the technical aspect of how an image can be created, viewed and modified. Utilizing an image processing toolbox various images will be analyzed using standard algorithms, noisy or degraded images restored and enhanced for improved intelligibility, shapes and textures will be analyzed, and features of images will be embedded or extracted.

Prerequisites: CMPT 305

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This course is intended to introduce students to image processing. By the end of this course a student should be able to

Understand what makes an image and how an image is stored
Process an image using several techniques including grey scaling an image, convolutions, operations on black and white images, and some image classification techniques
Have introductory GPGPU skills
Discuss issues concerning image processing in society

COURSE OUTLINE:

What is an Image?
Greyscale and Black & White operations
Convolutions
GPGPU processing
Image resizing
Image formats and compression
Background subtraction techniques
Textures in Images
Image Classification
Additional topics as time allows
