Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
This course introduces the principles of digital image and video processing, discusses current image and video processing technology, and provides hands-on experience with image/video processing and communication methods. The course includes topics on image filtering and restoration, image transform algorithms, multiresolution image processing, image matching and segmentation techniques, as well as image and video compression.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing this course, participants should be able to
- describe and use the principles of digital image and video processing to develop image processing algorithms,
- develop image processing algorithms for image filtering and restoration, image transformation and multiresolution processing, image and video compression, as well as image matching and segmentation,
- implement (for example with MatLab) and assess the developed image processing algorithms,
- explain algorithm design choices using the principles of digital image/video processing,
- develop image processing algorithms for a given practical image/video processing problem
- analyze given image/video processing problems, identify and explain the challenges, propose possible solutions, and explain the chosen algorithm design.
To achive higher grades, participants should also be able to
- solve more advanced problems in all areas mentioned above.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- INL1 - Assignment, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Exam, 6.0 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.
Other requirements for final grade
Preparation assignments, course projects, written examination.
Preparation assignments 1.5 ECTS (P/F). Course Projects 3 ECTS (A-F), Exam 3 ECTS (A-F). The final grade is the average of course projects and exam.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
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.
