Image Processing and Applications

Credits (L:T:P) = 4(3:0:1) Prerequisites: Linear Algebra Course-In-charge: Dr. Santosh Singh Fundamentals of digital image processing with particular emphasis on problems in the chosen application. It covers principles and algorithms for processing both deterministic and random signals. Topics include imaging, filtering, registration, coding, feature extraction, and modeling. The focus of the course is a series of labs that provide practical experience in processing different types of data and implementation of mentioned imaging techniques. The labs are done on MATLAB during weekly lab sessions. References: 1. 2. Lim J. S., Two-Dimensional Signal and Image processing. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall Gonzales, R. and R. E.
