Learning Outcomes 
| On completion of this course, the student will be able to: 
        The students will understand and apply the fundamental techniques and algorithms behind multiple image processing applications. By the end of this module, the students should be able to:Understand how signal processing techniques generalise from univariate signals to images.Recall a range of techniques and algorithms for image processing.Demonstrate critical knowledge of commonly use image processing techniques, being able to discuss their advantages and disadvantages in specific applications.Apply analytically the key techniques for image transformation, enhancement, restoration and segregation to simple images. |
