Course content

The course contains mathematical characterization of continuous and discrete images, the psychophysical properties of the eyesight, sampling and reconstruction of images, some important two-dimensional transforms and techniques related to such transforms, image improvement, thresholding, and segmentation. Exercises will be emphasized. Fundamental knowledge of programming is presupposed.
