Supervisor:

Department of Radioelectronics

Synopsis:

The course focuses on advanced image and signal processing with a focus on imaging and radio systems. The emphasis is on the implementation of algorithms as well as on individual work in the laboratory. Students will verify the principles of algorithms in solving non-trivial problems, such as processing of image data from wide-field systems used in astronomy, fast processing of large data volume from non-linear image system, 2D photometric system calibration, and real-time GNSS signal processing.
