Subject objectives
The aim of this course is to become familiar with the fundamental characteristics of the
digital image and its forms of representation, the description of visual content through
local characteristics of colour, shape and texture, and the practical application of these
concepts to problems of image processing and analysis.
Contents
Image representation and modeling: space-frequency, orientation and phase, space-scale
Wavelets and filter banks
Image coding and reconstruction
Description of colour, shape and texture
Image modelling and description applications
