Written by  |  05/09/2020 - 09/00

Course Description:

 This course introduces image and video processing fundamentals, including color image capture and representation, image/video compression, video networking, selected advanced image/video processing, and communication techniques. Students will learn to implement algorithms chosen in Python (Matlab). A term project will be required.  Relevant publications will be provided as references.  Students would have to gain classical knowledge and cutting-edge techniques through this course.
