Image Processing Course

Description

The Image Processing course is designed to introduce students to image processing in the Engee environment. The course begins with an introduction to the basics and basic functions used in image processing. The basics learnt are then applied to write your own processing functions to help realise a real-world project. By the end of the course, you will learn how to use Engee to compress an image without significantly deforming the objects depicted in it.

Each section of the course contains practical examples and self-directed assignments.

Knowledge Requirements: Completion of the course Welcome to Engee course.

Total course time: ~2 hours.

Course Programme

Basics of working with images.

The basic techniques of working with images are studied: importing, displaying, modifying colour and grayscale images.

Image segmentation.

Creation of binary images with setting of pixel intensity thresholds is studied.

Pre- and post-processing techniques.

The improvement of image segmentation using common pre-processing and post-processing methods is studied.

An image compression algorithm seam cutting.

Functions to implement the image scaling algorithm and the application of these functions to images are studied.
