Objective

This course is to provide an introduction to the basic concepts and methodologies for digital image processing, which lays a foundation for further study and research in this field. Through this course, students will learn the basic principles of digital image processing, and the techniques employed to process digital images for various applications. The latest image and video coding standards will also be introduced and discussed.
