EESM5700 Image and Video Signal Processing, Spring 2014

Tuesday:	19:15PM-22:05PM
Venue:	Room 2464
Instructor:	Yu, Weichuan

This course introduces methods to process images and videos on a computer. The topics include: the formation and quantification of digital images and videos, morphological image processing, image enhancement in the spatial and frequency domain, image restoration, color image processing, image and video compression, image segmentation, and motion estimation.

This course is mathematics-oriented. It requires basic knowledge of linear algebra, calculus, and linear filtering. Familiarity with the programming language MATLAB is needed.

Grade is based on homework (20%), mid-term (40%) and a final project (40%). A tentative schedule is described as follows. More materials (lecture notes, homework assignment, etc.) can be found at http://lmes2.ust.hk/portal/:
