Introduction to Image Processing
Programme: B.Tech. (ECE, CCE) Year: 4th Semester: VII
Course: Program Elective for ECE, CCE Credits: 3 Hours: 40
Course Context and Overview (100 words):
This course will introduce the analytical tools and methods which are currently used in digital
image processing as applied to image information for human viewing. There is a substantial
body of scientific knowledge about computer processing of visual information and the future
promises even greater developments. The course is cross-disciplinary, drawing on
mathematics and statistics, information theory, as well as computer science, and has many
applications including remote sensing, space exploration, security, surveillance,
manufacturing, robotics, and medicine.
Prerequisites Courses:
Signals and Systems, Digital Signal Processing
Course outcomes(COs):
On completion of this course, the students will have the ability to:
CO1: Understand image formation and the role human visual system plays in perception of gray
and color image data.
CO2: Understand the spatial filtering techniques, including linear and nonlinear methods used in
image processing.
CO3: Understand the 2D Fourier transform concept, including the 2D DFT, FFT, DCT and their
use in frequency domain filtering.
CO4: Analyse the signal processing algorithms and technique in image enhancement such as
histogram modification, contrast manipulation, and edge detection.
CO5: Be able to conduct independent study and analysis of image processing problems and
techniques.
