55:247 Image Analysis and Understanding

Course Description

Goals:

This course represents an advanced course of digital image analysis and understanding. The student's ability to mathematically analyze two-dimensional images is extended to higher level of processing image data. As a novel concept for students, knowledge, heuristic, and fuzzy information are introduced as possible approaches to deal with uncertainty in situations where image data do not contain sufficient information. A computer-engineering approach to solving complex image analysis problems is developed. Each student is required to complete a laboratory project consisting of a sequence of image analysis steps resulting in image interpretation thus emphasizing hands-on image analysis experience.
