Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Overview about aims and methods for image analysis, image processing and computer vision. Orientation about biological seeing and visual perception. Properties of the perspective image formation.

Basic image analysis: signal theoretical methods, filtering, image enhancement, image reconstruction, segmentation, classification, representation.

Basic computer vision: multiscale representation, detection of edges and other distinctive features. Stereo and multi-camera systems. Object recognition, morphology.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course with a passing grade the student should be able to:
• identify basic concepts, terminology, models and methods in computer vision and image processing
• develop and evaluate a number of basic methods in computer vision and image processing systematically
• choose and apply methods for processing of image data related to image filtrering, image enhancement, segmentation, classification and representation,
• account for basic methods in computer vision as multiscale representation, detection of edges and other distinctive features, stereo, movement and object recognition to
• later as a working professional be able to decide how basic possibilities and limitations influence the choice of methods in image processing and computer vision for specific applications
• independently be able to implement, analyse and evaluate simple methods for computer vision and image processing
• be able to read and apply professional literature in the area.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

No information inserted

Recommended prerequisites

The courses in the basic block on mathematics, computer science and numerical analysis on the D-, E- or F-programme. One more course on signal processing and/or numerical analysis can be recommended. We recommend the students to read the course during the fourth year because it uses prerequisites from a relative wide spectrum of applied mathematics and computer science.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 4.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
  • TEN1 - Examination, 3.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
