Type of module:

Summary module description:

The module delivers a set of topics involved in image analysis, such as image enhancement, image compression, image segmentation, and colour image processing. Relevant techniques are introduced in lectures and practised in assigned lab-based coursework.  

Aims:

The module aims to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge of digital image processing and analysis from various techniques and applications.

This module also encourages students to develop a set of professional skills, such as problem solving; critical analysis of published literature; creativity; technical report writing for technical and non-technical audiences; self-reflection; and effective use of commercial software.

Assessable learning outcomes:

Students who complete this module will have:

• basic skills for image analysis;


• the ability to address issues associated with techniques of image transformation, histogram analysis and modification, image morphological operations and colour image manipulation;


• skills to develop algorithms for digital image enhancement, image compression and texture based image segmentation.

Additional outcomes:

Programming skills can be improved from coursework assignments, which associate with practical assignments.  Research studies are also involved in coursework assignments.

Outline content:

The module covers the following topics.

• digital image fundamentals;


• image enhancement in the spatial domain;


• image enhancement in the frequency domain;
