EL5123 /BE6223 ---- Image Processing, Fall 2011
http://eeweb.poly.edu/~yao/EL5123

Course Description:  This course introduces basic concepts and techniques in digital image processing: image acquisition and display using digital devices, properties of human visual perception, sampling and quantization, sampling rate conversion, contrast enhancement, two-dimensional Fourier transforms, linear and nonlinear filtering, morphological operations, noise removal, image deblurring, edge detection, image registration and geometric transformation,  and multiresolution representation using wavelets, and image compression (including the JPEG and JPEG2000 standard). Students will learn to implement some image processing algorithms on computers using C-programming or MATLAB.

Prerequisites: EE 3054 (Signals, Systems, and Transforms), Knowledge of basic matrix operations and probability; basic programming skill; senior or graduate student status. This course can be used to form a two-course sequence with EL6122 or EL5823.
