Prerequisites

Engineering Mathematics and Mathematics for Multimedia

Course contents (core content level)

Applied statistics in image processing: distributions, conditional probabilities, central limit theorem. Basics of information theory, redundancy, compression ratio. Mathematics of colour, colour spaces and colour processing. Fourier analysis of signals esp. digital images: frequency domain processing; sampling principles; amplitude and phase spectrum of a signal. Filtering in frequency domain; image enhancement in frequency domain: e.g. removing noise from a digital image.

Course contents (additional)

Boosting masks; Laplacian of a signal in edge enhancement. Bayer filter pattern of a colour image. Basics of data compression methods: reducing redundancy of data.
