Synopsis:

he course is devoted to multimedia technology, with a focus on image acquisition, processing, and reproduction. It primarily addresses areas including the measurement of photometric, radiometric, and colorimetric quantities, as well as the design and characterization of lenses, image sensors, displays, lighting technology, and other imaging components, including their parameters. The course also covers cinematography, photography, and other specialized image reproduction methods, such as printing technologies and digital printing. The studied topics are further complemented by advanced image processing methods.
