Language(s) of instruction
english
Course content
- Low level image processing, linear/non linear filtering, morphomathematics.
- Image segmentation.
- Object feature extraction from digital images.
- Supervised and unsupervised classification methods.
- Image processing techniques applied to industrial and biomedical problems.
Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)
- The lecture recalls the basics in digital image processing and analysis, ranging from principles of image acquisition to object recognition.
- Several automatic segmentation techniques are explained and compared with respect to practical implementation issues.
- Morphomathematic methods are introduced, in particular the watershed technique. Image feature descriptors are defined (texture, shape, color,...) and serve as the input to recognition systems.
- Classical machine learning methods are explained and analysed in terms of their application conditions for pattern recognition.
- The objective of the course is to give to the students notions of the analytic approach to image segmentation and pattern recognition problems through both theory and application motivated examples.

Evaluation
Method(s) of evaluation
- Oral examination
- Written report
Oral examination
Written report
- Questions are asked for each of the two parts of the course.
- There is a preparation period, without notes.
- Depending on the circumstances, the exam can be done remotely using Teams.
Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)
The grade is constructed according to a mean (identical weighting for the two parts of the course).
