No information inserted
The course is an introduction to modern image processing technology. It provides both the underlying principles of image processing and hands-on experience with commonly used methods. It begins with the principles of vision and the fundamentals of the physics of light. It discusses basic image processing techniques such as spatial and transform domain filtering, multi-resolution analysis, lossless coding and quantization. These techniques are applied to practical image processing applications including restoration, enhancement, segmentation, and coding.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
