Synopsis:

This course focuses on the state-of-the-art techniques for digital image and video technology. These techniques and their applications cover almost all areas of technical professions dealing with human interaction. A significant part of the course is focused on the methods of image signal processing and main hardware and software functional blocks of related imaging systems. The aim of the laboratory exercises is to familiarize with advanced methods for capturing, processing and reproduction of image information. Due to the fast progress in this area, the content of the lectures and exercises is being continuously updated.

Requirements:

Knowledge of linear algebra, mathematical analysis, and analysis of signals and systems.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Linear algebra for multidimensional signal processing, matrix representation of images, spectral representation.

2. Multiscale image processing, pyramidal decomposition, continuous and discrete wavelet transform.

3. Human visual system characteristics and models.

4. Real imaging systems and their transfer characteristics.

5. Modelling of image signals, basic models of noise, methods of image reconstruction, noise reduction.

6. Super-resolution, compressed sensing.
