Processing:
ECE418 Lecture Notes, Chapter 1.
Course Outline
-
Introduction (1.5 hours)
-
Multidimensional Random Processes (3 hours)
Spectral representation, stationarity, isotropy, ergodicity
-
Image Modeling (~10 hours)
Model estimation and validation, autoregressive models,
Markov random fields, multiresolution models, graphical models
-
Camera Sensor Models (1.5 hours)
Photographic film, solid-state imagers
-
Image Restoration (~12 hours)
Image degradation models, Wiener filters,
MAP estimators, regularized estimators, Bayesian estimators,
set-theoretic estimators, learning, computational methods (EM algorithm,
relaxation, alternating maximization methods, PDEs, belief
propagation for graphical models). Applications to image inpainting,
superresolution; blind deconvolution; image registration; image forensics
-
Video Processing (6 hours)
3-D and 2-D Motion models; ill-posedness of inverse problem;
block matching; optical flow;
transform-based models, motion-compensated prediction models;
video restoration
-
Security Applications (4.5 hours)
Surveillance, authentication, encryption
-
Biometrics (4.5 hours)
Fingerprint and iris recognition systems
Grading Policy
The final grade will be determined based on regular homeworks, one midterm
exam, and a final project or final (as chosen by the student):
-
Homeworks: 20%
-
Midterm Exam: 30%
-
Project or Final: 50%
Homework Policy
You may use any material you want to solve homework problems. Teaming up
with other students to work out homework problems is acceptable. However,
you will maximize your learning experience by working out homework problems
on your own. In any event, you are required to write out your solutions
independently.
Homeworks will typically be due on Wednesdays. Possible grades are:
3 (perfect or nearly perfect), 2 (good but needs improvement),
1 (serious deficiencies) or 0 (unsatisfactory).
Resources
Instructor's notes are available electronically.
Recommended books are Bovik's Handbook of Image and Video Processing
(2005) and Woods' book entitled:
Multidimensional Signal, Image and Video Processing and Coding (2006).
Articles in recent scientific and technical literature will also be used
as references.
