The course covers basic concepts and fundamental methodologies of Image Analysis, including the following themes: edge detection, histogram-based segmentation, segmentation by region splitting and merging, superpixels, region growing, Markov random field models for segmentation, segmentation using graph cuts, mean-shift algorithm, active contours, level sets, morphological image processing, watershed segmentation, boundary extraction, boundary description, image region description, texture description, corner detection, keypoint extraction, image classification.
Learning objectives
After successful completion of the course, students have an understanding of basic concepts and computational methods of image analysis. Students become familiar with a wide range of image segmentation algorithms and techniques, which form the foundation of two-dimensional image analysis. Emphasis is given to fundamental concepts that highlight a broader theoretical framework and offer a specific view in classical computational algorithms. Students will be familiar with feature extraction algorithms and content descriptors for semantic visual recognition
Grading
The evaluation is based on assignments and a final project.
The courses of the Computer Science Department are designated with the letters "CS" followed by three decimal digits. The first digit denotes the year of study during which students are expected to enroll in the course; the second digit denotes the area of computer science to which the course belongs.
