ITC368 Image Processing and Analysis (8)

Abstract

This subject builds on the students' previous knowledge of C++ programming at a high level. It provides a study of fundamental knowledge and practical techniques for digital manipulation of images, including image enhancement and restoration, edge detection and segmentation, feature extraction and description, object understanding and recognition. It also provides the study of image processing techniques used in Computer Vision and GIS applications.
