Image Analysis, 7.5 credits

Main field of study with advanced study

Courses in computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering of at least 90 credits. Courses in mathematics of at least 30 credits or courses including calculus, linear algebra and transform methods. Exemption of the requirement in Swedish is granted. English 6.

The course can be included in the Master Programme in Embedded and Intelligent Systems 120 credits, the Master Programme in Information Technology 120 credits and Computer Science and Engineering 300 credits. The course is given also as a single subject course.

The student shall acquire knowledge and practical experience of digital image analysis, of primarily 2D images.

Following successful completion of the course the student should be able to:

Knowledge and understanding

• describe the fundamental concepts in image analysis, in general
• describe sampling, color, texture and shape in particular

Skills and ability

• use the concept of sampling to represent linear transformations
• use the concept of texture, color and shape to describe and solve practical problems

Judgement and approach

• describe real image analysis problems by fundamental concepts

The following elements are included in the course: image representation, sampling and quantization, geometric transformation and interpolation, linear and non-linear filtering, local orientation and scale, shape, texture.

Instruction consists of lectures and computer exercises. Presence at and active participation in the lectures and exercises are compulsory.

The exam consists of written exam.

For grade 3, approval of knowledge and skills corresponding to at least the threshold of 50% of theory and computer exercises, in addition to approved report on a selected subject are required. For grade 4, requirements of grade 3 with the threshold of of 65% are required. For grade 5, the requirements of grade 3 with the threshold of 85% are required.

If there are special reasons, the examiner may make exceptions from the specified examination format and allow a student to be examined in another way. Special reasons can e.g. be study support for students with disabilities.

Course evaluation is part of the course. This evaluation offers guidance in the future development and planning of the course. Course evaluation is documented and made available to the students.
