Overview:
This is a basic
undergraduate-level class that covers the fundamentals of image processing,
computer vision, and multimedia computing. The students learn about the basics
of image, video, and audio formation and processing, the basics of multimedia
compression and representation. The students will be exposed to dealing with
image and video data through programming assignments using Java and Matlab.
Introduction
to Multimedia: Historical overview, multimedia representations, software tools, authoring tools.
Basics
of Image Formation: Camera and lenses, image formation, basic camera models and
geometry. Image formats. Colors in images and videos.
Image
Computing I: Binary image analysis: The basics of processing 2D images thresholding, connected component analysis, mathematical
morphology, shape descriptors. Application: implementation of a simple Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) System.
Image
Computing II: Low level processing of images: Convolution, basics of Fourier
transform, edge detection, texture representation and synthesis, image
segmentation.
Video
Processing: Fundamental concepts of video, image and video compression, MPEG
video coding, MPEG4,7 and beyond.
Audio
Processing: Basics of digital audio, quantization and transmission of Audio. Audio compression, Audio MPEG.
Multimedia
applications: content-based
retrieval in digital libraries: case studies.
Linear algebra and basic probability and statistics.
