Course Description

The course provides an introduction to basic concepts and methodologies in image processing and develops the foundation for further study in this diverse and rapidly evolving field. The topics range from enhancement and restoration to image encoding, segmentation, description, recognition and interpretation.

Homework

Homework will be assigned once a week and collected the following week. Late submissions will not be accepted since the solutions will be discussed in the class shortly thereafter.

 

Software Requirement

MATLAB/Simulink software will be used extensively in the course. The software is available on most department laboratory machines, and student copies can be borrowed from the ECE department for a small deposit. However, other equivalent software can be used or the student can develop his/her own software.

 

Honor Code

Students are expected to follow the ODU Honor Code for all assignments and exams. Any violations will be dealt with strictly according to university policy. However, this is also a course, which requires a lot of interaction, and sharing of ideas is encouraged. But all work that you turn in with your name on it should reflect your work, not someone else's. If at any time you have a question about whether you are violating the Honor Code, please ask me to make sure.

 

Disabilities

Students who have documented disabilities in accordance with university guidelines will be provided appropriate opportunities if the documentation is brought to the instructor's attention.
