Prerequisites

Engineering Mathematics

Course contents (core content level)

Complex numbers: representations and rules. Bilinear interpolation. Gradient and directional derivative. Integral function and definite integral. Integration of elementary functions; esp. constant, linear and piecewise constant and piecewise linear functions: definite integral as a sum; integration of data. Idealised image as a mathematical model of an image and a digital image. Image processing with a computer: pixel group operations (masks, filtering, nearest neighbour methods); image enhancement: edges, smoothing, sharpening etc.; analysis of filters.

Course contents (additional)

Integration techniques: integration by parts and by substitution. Numerical methods of integration. Integrals in mathematical models: quantity elements. Filters as mapping functions. Least squares method in image processing. Nearest neighbour and bilinear interpolation in image processing. Processing a coloured image: Bayer filter pattern.
