ECE 533 Digital Image Processing

Required course: No

Course Level

Graduate

Course Description

This course is designed to provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to analyze and design digital image processing systems. The first part of this course covers two-dimensional signals and systems. Extension of key digital signal processing concepts (such as sampling, z-transforms, discrete Fourier transforms, and filtering) to two-dimensions are studied. During the second part of the course, properties of the human visual system are summarized and image enhancement, restoration, and compression methods are discussed. Course requirements include a project. Project ideas are developed in consultation with the instructor.
