Subject objectives
-Study and application of advanced digital image processing techniques.
-Study and application of advanced techniques of digital image analysis.
-Analysis of real problems, and design and development of solutions based on advanced image processing and analysis technologies.
-Evaluation of the adequacy of the methodologies applied in specific problems.
This curricular unit addresses the most advanced topics in image processing and analysisand presents itself as a sequence of a curricular unit where the fundamental topics arepresented. It is designed to provide the essential foundation for students wishing topursue research in this area. In addition to the study and application of advancedtechniques of image processing and analysis, applications in this area are studied thataim to solve real problems. This approach gives students the necessary tools to apply the algorithms studied in practical cases, as well as the basis for developing new algorithms.

Teaching methodology
Laboratory practice:
Analysis and resolution of practical cases using techniques learned in the lectures.
Objective test:
Test with questions about the theoretical contents of the subject as well as practical problems.
Guest lecture / keynote speech:
Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning.
See Contengency Plan for Alternative Scenarios.
Evaluation system
-Objective test (40):
Written test with theoretical questions and practical problems to be solved.
Competences:CB6 CG3 CG5
-Laboratory practice (60):
Two assignments that consist of the development of image processing and computer vision applications. It will be
assessed the suitability of the proposed solutions and the quality of the obtained results.
Competences: CE1 CE3 CE4 CE5 CG2 CG7

Studying time and personal work
Recommended study time for students is about 2 hours per week. Additionally, we estimate that they should spend about 6,5 hours / week working in a number of assignments. All of these activities add up to around 120h/semester.
