Overview

This unit introduces fundamental image processing techniques for the digital manipulation of 2D image data. Algorithms explored include those for edge detection, image enhancement, feature and shape extraction, segmentation and noise removal. The unit provides students an opportunity to develop theoretical understanding of these algorithms, and practical skills in implementing and applying them to real image data.
