A PRACTICAL SHORT COURSE ON MATLAB-BASED IMAGE PROCESSING

COURSE CODE: MAT-403

Introduction
This course is specifically designed for students, professional and amateurs who want to learn image
processing and its practical usage. The course assumes no a prior knowledge of either image
processing or MATLAB. At the end of the course, participants will be able to understand the basics
of image processing and shall be in a position to confidently use MATLAB's image processing
toolbox to solve their respective problems. Presentation slides/lab sheets shall be provided.
Course Contents (The contents below covers both theory and Labs/Hands-on practice
